Do you know of Maloles history ? Part 2

In 2005, I introduced a winter model, with a warm fabric and I tightened the bow closing the visible gathers.

 

It was in 2007 that I replaced the link by a ribbon. It was all a process of evolving towards a more delicate shoe, to reveal the beauty of flat shoes.

I hope you liked these back-to-basics. From now on, every week, I will introduce you to a ZOE model from my collection.

Do you know of Maloles history ?

Today you all know of my famous model, the ZOE. But when I created it in 2003, it was a little bit different than what it is today…

In 2003, I had the idea of turning backwards a ballet shoe and leaving the gathers visible, initially placed under the sole, that I decided to close with a delicate bow.

 

 

The Zoés were already assembled from a single hand-stitched leather piece, using an artisanshoemaking practice.

But, with time, I upgraded to more sophisticated leathers, like the snake one in 2005.
