Variations of my signature styles, influenced by a love of vintage & retro, rich colour, contrasting texture & complimentary lines.
ENDURING STYLE made from hand selected components - intrinsic comfort of natural materials
INDIVIDUALITY did you have a dream and that dream was a pair of shoes made just for you?
CUSTOM FIT because feet are all devilishly different in shape and size and comfort is a priority
SUSTAINABILITY good quality natural components, that can be repaired & replaced
LOCALLY MADE support NZ made & reduce those carbon footprints

adjustments to lasts for shape or pattern
