Khashon was conceptualised way before it took shape in the real world. It started when the owner’s father bought her, their first pair of high-heeled shoes for a wedding at age 16. After putting them on and loving them- she quickly realised that whilst they looked good, they were quite uncomfortable. And so, it began. Zamanti, spent years pondering and designing ways to make this style of shoe both enjoyable to look at and to wear. After many years it was time to take the first steps. She embarked on the journey to launching this brand without a name. Until, one day she shared her plans and ideas for a high-end luxury, proudly South African bespoke shoe brand, with their mother and younger sister. After expressing that one of the only things they seem to struggle to crack is the name of this brand- they had considered their mother and father’s name to no avail. Zamanti’s mother then suggested why not “KHASHON”? It is a moniker made up of her mother’s name and surname. Her mother has been using it since her children were young. After being given the blessing of using her mother’s name for the brand, there was no stopping it.
