osborn design studios: fair fabric footwear
(images via osborn design studios)
how fun are these fabric covered jazz shoes and ankle boots by greenpoint, brookyn-based osborn design studios? VERY. the shoes and boots are all handmade in guatemala city using locally-sourced materials.
i think the top and bottom pair are (almost!) literally begging to be mine…party time booties, indeed!

B* a la ModaI was going to say that. These fabric is a classic from SouthAmerica. But they actually made it cool because it doesn´t usually go associated with cool garments. Thanks for sharing.

Style Eyes Fashion BlogI thought they looked familiar. They remind me of a table cloth I bought in Guatemala. I love the bright colours!

carolineYipes! These are amazing! The boots almost remind me a little of wrestling booties, but in a much (much, much) cooler form! The unexpected fabric is such a delight.
