As a mature aged student, I went to university in Milan, Italy and I studied Fashion and Luxury Goods Management. After my studies I was offered an Internship with a traditional Sandal Artisan in a tiny, little Italian village.

As they say “the rest is history.” I’m just your average Aussie girl that decided to go for it!

I launched www.ankalia.com on my own with no business partners and no financial backers. Some people even said to me “it won’t work.” Gee, I’ve proven them sooooo wrong! Persistence and passion does pay off!

Every pair of Sandals on my website is designed by me and handmade by me with love and meticulous attention to quality and detail.
