...more progress

So I know last week I promised I would have the shoes completed but that was all until my birthday weekend happened and before (the real culprit) alcohol happened. This year was the first year since my dad passed away that I really wanted to go out and celebrate so in true Kiren style I went all out, and basically wrote off the whole weekend and totally had no time to make anything. So yesterday was the first day that I got around to making any real progress and this was the outcome; basically a whole chunk of the most challenging part done and dusted (yippee) Since I went back on my word this week I wont be making any more bold statements about when they will be finished, but just know you guys will have the first peek when they are!








10 Day Challenge...so far






This whole week has been about making and designing. By Wednesday I had 4 shoes designed but hadn't quite settled on the two pairs of heels I wanted to make. I had just about figured the choice of leathers I wanted to use on the footwear and went about making the first few designs because I'm queen of procrastination and didn't want the fact that I couldn't figure out the last few designs to stop me from making. So with nerves and apprehension I present to you my first few steps of my collection so far. (This is only a working project to get me training so the collection isn't quite cohesive but I have tried my best to keep the collection looking like a range!)

























INCH 2


In the theme of bespoke shoe making in last Mondays post, this week I came across Inch2 a brand with an ethos that is all about handmade shoes with loads of charisma. Their style and branding is fab, they have a great eye for current trends which emanates in all of their designs. In hand making their shoes they have added an extra edge which separates them from other brands. It's a nice feeling knowing that every shoe has been uniquely worked on and not just come hot off the factory press. They have international delivery, making it all the more easier to get your hands on a pair. Waste no time - this is a brand to watch out for!
