Courtney was photographed outside the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival parades at the Docklands this week in Kenyan handmade shoes by Safari. This brand may ultimately come under the umbrella of one of the world's largest international footwear manufacturers, but Safari's cowhide boots are still hand-stitched at the Bata factory in Limuru, central Kenya. After over 50 years in production, the Safari boot has become a revered icon in Kenya for decades.
