While browsing svpply, i spotted these shoes and fell in love. How cool are they? These neon toed shoes are from Namibia where each shoe is hand made by a group of 8 gentlemen that turn out just 20 pairs each day. The shoes are made of kudu leather which is leather from a very large antelope like animal native to Namibia. Schier shoes also make similar ones for grown-ups… I’m loving the neon toed ones for the adults too. If you’re in a matching sort of mood you could get one each for every member of you family! Head to Schier Shoes to see the entire collection and don’t miss the cute furry little shoes for kids.

Going dotty for polka dot shoes
April 4, 2012
I have a huge soft spot for polka dots especially for children, so when I saw these polka dot shoes it was instant love. Made in Japan by Sayang Design, these shoes are handcrafted in soft leather and they’re designed by parents who have paid attention to every single detail from style to comfort. The lace-up ones would look cool on boy or girl and no little girl could go wrong wearing any of the gorgeous ballet pumps.
These polka dot shoes come in a range of colours including some plain ones that are extremely wantable too. You can visit Sayang Design to see the collection. Unfortunately they don’t ship internationally but Rakuten (Japan’s global marketplace) have a selection and they ship to several countries.
European style: Handcrafted shoes for babies and kids
March 20, 2012
I’m always on the look out for beautiful yet wearable shoes for kids. The mass market stuff just doesn’t do it for me and so when I came across Gigi & Zaza, I was excited. Started by 3 mama’s who couldn’t find kids shoes they liked, they decided to have some made. All their shoes are crafted in small, family-owned factories across Europe and it is this European style mixed with individualism that set their shoes apart.
At Gigi & Zaza every detail is paid attention to… right from the traditional skilled craftsmen who make these shoes to the hand picking of every style and colour. And there is an underlying simplicity to all their shoes without compromising on looks. I love the crochet baby mary janes which come in black too and the pale red stripey lace-up shoes are very cool for boy or girl. To see the entire collection visit Gigi & Zaza who ship Internationally.
P.S. Have you seen these beautiful French shoes for girls?
