Hand-crafted
Footwear
We offer a unique range of personally curated footwear from New Zealand and International designers. Our shoes are made in small family owned factories across the world, primarily in Italy, Spain and Germany. Artisans passionate about their craft use traditional shoe-making techniques. Third and fourth generations in these family businesses bring fresh concepts and modern elements to the traditional craft.
