- I focus on the aesthetic and my makers focus on the construction. Luckily I am working with some of the best weavers that understand the process forward, backwards and upside down. Merging our visions, we produce a beautifully handmade quality shoe that is durable, long term wearability and fashion forward.
Designer Spotlight
VINTAGE ARTISAN
"Menswear Superior Staples"
Fashion Odds is putting the spotlight on men's
shoe designer, Vintage Artisan, that will definetley get your sole right.
F.O: How would you describe the evolution of Vintage Artisan?
V.A: Amazing. The evolution was validated so quickly with the launch of the Huarache that the thought of what Vintage Artisan was suppose to be completely got lost. At first I was working on a summer collection and was intending to grow as a menswear apparel brand. I wanted to launch shirts, coats and pants and in the long term vision saw a shoe in the mix. I didn’t think that the tables would turn which lead me to working on the future first.
F.O: Your style of shoes have a particular look and feel, some people don’t gravitate towards it, but it works for those who want fun footwear and who want to stand out.
V.A: I love that. We are the first to produce the best Huarache on the market and people are not use to this style of shoe. The people that “get it” will tell others and it will be only a matter of time we get their business as well. It also stamps us with the “originality” seal.
