What to do with leftovers? Barbora Veselá knows ...
These beautiful shoes are designed by London
based designer Barbora Veselá. She has layered-up leftover scraps of leather to
create striations inspired by patterns of sediment layers of erosive processes
in nature.
For her ‘Geology of shoes’ collection she’s used
traditional shoe making techniques and has developed special construction
methods.
She built up the shape of the shoes piece by
piece by overlapping spare strips of leather suede-side-up around a traditional
last. Then she sanded down the scraps to create the final forms and reveal the
rippled layers. That makes each shoe unique!
A good example of being creative with leftovers. I really love this work!
