Shoes and Craft

I work on preparing the High Heel courses every day, so now I can show some result.

The lasts are arrived…

SEXY.. Isn’t it? Real high heel designed just for this course…

And one model from the many you can choose… Cherry coloured patent leather. When I saw this leather in the shop I couldn’t resist. I thought only black and red are acceptable from patent, but this is just lovely.

And a small detail – a gold crown, the symbol of my brand.

Here is the possibility to learn shoemaking in a few weeks:

More details will come soon.

This is the other RTW model. 2 eyelets derby, bull leather, JR leather (sole, heel, toe puff, heel counter). Very soon available. Thanks for the patience again!

As I informed the audience – due to the huge interest, there will be more course.

Here you can follow how they are made:

part 1.

part 2.

The upper is water buffalo – coming in 5 colours, heel counter, toe puff, sole, heel toplift are from Rendenbach. This is a real handmade piece as all of my shoes. Very soon it will appear in some shops in limited quantity all over the world and it will be available for web orders.

Other models will come soon! 

Just from the workbench – yes still no insole lining.. 🙂 Fresh, no?

A small comment: there is one thing will be changed: the toplift will be half rubber. Practical for wet floor..

I have a great news: due to the big interest to my other courses, I will keep 2 extra course in August in NYC.

High heel will be kept, but an additional “pattern making” and “basic and advanced shoemaking” course will be held. Details are coming soon.
