But it’s the prospect of providing a fashionable solution for women like herself that keeps Acheampong motivated. “My shoes are for any woman who has ever felt as if their options were limited, or like their beauty didn’t belong,” she says. “I want my shoes to be for all. Tall or short, curvy or skinny, dark or light – it doesn’t matter to me.

“Let’s be clear, though,” she adds with a laugh, “if Beyoncé, Rihanna or Solange wanted a pair of Kahmunes I would be more than happy to oblige!”

Kahmune’s shoes will be available for pre-order in February and start shipping in March, and will be priced between £200 and £250. You can see the full range here.
