Shoemaker George Esquivel X Jonathan Cohen's 

Fall 17 Collection

Shoemaker George Esquivel and Jonathan Cohen have teamed up to bring a new women's footwear collection featuring boots and sandals all handmade in Orange County California. The fall '17 collection is inspired by Cohens fascination with the 2016 documentary '"Look at the Pictures" which looked at the life and work of artist Robert Mapplethorpe and the collection has an emphasis on beautiful brocade fabrics which are featured on a pair of knee high lace up boots and smoking slippers. The shoes retail between  $795 - $2,995 and will be sold at A'maree Newport Beach California. Im looking forward to seeing this brand grow and branch out into new stockist so us Brits can have a pair!
