TKEES was co-founded in 2009 by wife and husband duo, Carly and Jesse Burnett. After searching for the perfect barely-there flip flop that was accessible and responsibly produced—they created their own. The now-iconic Lily was launched in five nude shades and set the pace for future collections of timeless wardrobe staples. By investing in quality over quantity, TKEES creates products and collections that outlive trends. Through a seasonless approach and close collaboration with European and Brazilian partners, the brand avoids overproduction and makes long-term design decisions that reduce waste.
