Super cute shoes right?  I'm gonna get me a pair!
Brought to you by Brooklyn based, married fine artists Carla and Aaron Osborn, these shoes are not only cute, funky and individual BUT...yep, they are ethically made too...
Production for Osborn shoes takes place in Guatemala where Artisans and Cobblers handmake these special creations.  Material used for the shoes range from scraps of African Kente cloth, old dresses and blankets woven from traditional Guatemalan fibres.  Following by the phrase a friend once used 'We want to make a living, not a killing' they realised that they can help reduce unemployment and increase the livelihood of the locals in the Nation where Aaron had spent 6 years of his life.  These shoes are already proving to be a hit with features in Nylon, Time Out and Fader.

Currently you can buy these shoes online or if based in New York can get them from Oak or Brooklyn Flea Market.  They also have the option to collaborate with them, like African influenced Brand 'Boxing Kitten' who have worked on a range with the Osborns.  Such a great idea for those who are looking for something different, ethical and fun!  They have a full Catalogue online found at:

The booties and Oxfords are my personal favourites and I can't wait til a pair of these end up on my feet!
