If any of you used to read the Maison B blog you’ll remember my lady Mehrnoosh and her Craftwork! What she and parter Caroline do is a modern take on crafting coming as they do from a fashion design/architecture background. Using simple tools and working by hand they have explored the possibilities of pom-poms, crochet and now…MACRAME!
These shoes are based on the Josephine knot and are part of their installation at b store on Saville row…they’ve also made a seat based on the same knot (thoughts of sitting decoratively on a Josephine seat wearing Josephine shoes…) and what a wonderful idea to take something so butch, commonly used by sailors on board ship to make something to adorn the feet of ladies! Check out their website – they’re taking private orders of both pieces in tan or black leather. Summer must be coming soon!
