ART wom mexican-american artist en hirjalda mobley handmade shoe clips & accessories S Sofisticata was created so that I could do what I love. I want to incorporate uniquely beautiful details into your special days! I want you to feel gorgeous and loved, I hope my designs will add that special touch of glamour to your wedding, holidays, or just to your everyday life! I love creating pieces that make you feel feminine, and sophisticated, items that make you go, “ooooh” and... “aaaaah!” My pieces are for anyone who wants that special something and aren’t afraid to be a little different! I search for the highest quality materials possible for each piece I create. Every component that goes into my work is completely handpicked by me to ensure the finished piece is extraordinary. I’m always on the search for unique materials and sparkling lovelies to incorporate into my designs, and I’m always busy creating new pieces. I hand-stitch all of my pieces for lasting perfection. I get most of my feathers locally, and all from cruelty-free farms that were shed naturally! I have always loved creating, and designing anything and everything from shoes to home items. My inspiration has been the love for God’s creation around me, all the vivid colors of the flowers, the birds and butterflies in my back yard, and the gorgeous rainbows we are blessed to have in Florida, also all my mom’s creativity throughout my life! etsy twitter
