Summer sandals in India - New season development

For summer 2016, there is a return to hand techniques in footwear. Hand-woven leathers, crochet and beading are all important. This is some early seasonal development on-site in our factory in Noida, outside New Delhi.

The craftsman in this region are amazing. Their skill and speed is truly exciting to witness. They are able to bead almost as fast as I can sketch! 

Here you see some sketches and development, along with sourcing for inspiration. Everything from woven leather mats to necklaces.
