Contributor post from Megan at Room6
Spring has sprung in Vancouver (well, this week anyway) and that's got me dreaming about spring/summer shoes. When I stumbled across these hand-crafted Argila sandals on the Umeboshi blog, I was smitten. The top sandals in Ochre are taunting me...
Here's a bit about Argila, from the gals at Umeboshi in Vancouver:"Argila
is one of our perhaps lesser known, but most loved brands. Not only are
the styles irresistible, blending traditional men's wear detailing with
feminine curves and silhouettes, but the integrity of each shoe is
remarkable. If the buttery soft veg-tanned leathers aren't enough, the
quality of construction and undeniable comfort are sure to convince. And
to top it all off, these wonderful designs are all hand crafted in the
small island of Menorca,
Spain; a place where women have long been valued for their role in the
shoe industry. Here these skilled craftspeople take pride in each step
of the process, from sewing patterns, to paper-filling each shoe in the
final packaging stage."Images from Argila and Umeboshi
