UPCYCLED VINTAGE SANDALS FROM YOUR BAG

Do you have a designer monogram vintage bag or suitcase laying around?

We have been up-cycling vintage bags into sandals since 2013. We work with the most iconic comfortable cork insoles/footbeds and craft an iconic model in a 2 strap or clog style model. We work 1:1 with our clients to discuss the possibilities and co-design the style of our choice. Ready to know more?

Use the contact form on this website if you wish to know more.

 

p.s. we will probably ask some personal questions of your feet!

 

PROCESS

  • You ship us your well loved vintage monogram bag or suitcase. (For now we only work with coated canvas or leather monograms).

  • Cut out of the pattern and relined with new soft suede. We use all new genuine branded components  to craft your bespoke sandal.
  • Finished upper part is mounted to the sole and fitted on the shoe last.
  • Shoe cures.
