As we always state, your feet are unique to you, and finding the right pair of shoes can sometimes be a little tricky. We also know that genuine leather shoes tend to stretch after a few wears, but sometimes, getting to that comfortable spot may be a bit uncomfortable, and buying the next size up wouldn’t make much sense considering that they too would eventually stretch and then become too loose!
Using your hands to create changes everything.
I really and truly fell in love with craftsmanship and leather works only when I started working with my own hands. It was one thing to walk into a boutique or atelier and smell, experience and appreciate, but it was a completely different level when I started executing the entire process from A to Z myself. One’s love for design, product, and creation is one thing, but the love of making is another.
There needs to come a time when the age-old question concerning ‘form or function’ should no longer stand. I do believe that we are getting closer to this time, however, I also believe that some of us need a bit of a reminder! I also believe that
Dress shoes.
What are they really? And is there is specific guideline to make sure that your shoes are ‘dressed up’ enough?
Well, this may differ for men and woman, or at least would traditionally, but in the traditional (and very British) sense, a dress shoe is the type of footwear that would be worn to a black-tie ball or similar formal event.
The creative world is infused with passion, chaos and freedom. It is a limitless world with no boundaries. Using creativity in parallel to design in an aim to create products that have a beautiful aesthetic while remaining relevant and functional is another form of art that, in this case, requires a certain amount of organization – which is one of my most favorite skills if I may add!
The first step in finding the right pair of shoes may surely begin with falling in love with the design of a pair, but then, a whole bunch of requirements are needed to make sure it’s the absolute right one. We have all purchased that beautiful shoe the in the most perfect colour that very quickly turns into a very sore reminder that a beautiful pair of uncomfortable shoes will always remain as such. It will unfortunately gradually collect dust in the back of your shoe closet because the pain is nowhere near worth the look.
If you are blessed to live in a country with a perfect summer, then you can without a doubt spend your entire time outdoors enjoying warm summer days and cool summer nights. It would be the season for lunches in the mountains and dinners by the beachfront, for exploring the small and winding village streets and uncovering hidden gems of boutiques and cafes.
Producing a shoe is a lengthy and detailed process. The steps involved can vary between 70 and 300 or even more. The number of steps needed largely depends on the type of shoe being made, if it completely handmade, if it is a bespoke shoe or other similar factors.
Design has always been at the center of everything in my life: my childhood, my home activities, travels, my focus at schools, the perusal of higher education and my work. I never felt bound by it and felt the more I could experiment and create, the less I needed to communicate verbally – which I found was perfect for me. A career in design was a natural movement in my life and one I did not even think about, what else would I do, or could I do?
