Lovely!! Katie I'm in Chicago!
ReplyDeleteThanks! When are you coming back to SF? :)
DeleteSuch a beautiful, simple design. Are the soles just stacked leather?

Yes, the entire shoe is leather, even the sole. The heel section was purchased pre-made from a shoemaking supplier the rest was adhered by hand.
DeleteOh wow, this is impressive! I want to learn to make sandals!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was easier than it looks, give it a try.
DeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking at the pictures :) These sandals look great. The style is classic - nice worn with jeans, skirts and dresses. 'Would like to try this! I like your blog Katie :)
