full story

To offer a more solid look, we have embarked on our own "artistic" shoe collection. The uppers on our Handcoloured Collection are 100% coloured by hand. They start as a natural crust leather, beige in colour, and are carefully coloured by hand to achieve the desired colour and look.

Naturally, there are some highs and lows created, with no two pairs looking identical to the next. Further touching up and burnishing produces a luxurious appeal no matter the colour or shoe silhouette.

Akin to the Artist Collection, there is a charity element to all shoes in the Hand Coloured Collection. The charity we choose changes every two months depending on a variety of factors. Currently we are donating 6.04% of sales to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.

GVFB provides aid to more than 26,500 people every week, with 20% of those members being children and 19% seniors. The GVFB receives, purchases and distributes approximately 4.1 million pounds of food each year, giving them significantly greater buying power so they can purchase as much as $3 worth of food for every $1 donated, maximizing the impact of money donated. With the holiday season being typically difficult on families and individuals in need, we figured the GVFB was a suitable fit.
