ASOS.com AW11 Footwear Showcase

Made from Plastic fortunate enough to have been invited to ASOS AW11 Footwear Showcase in Redchurch Street last night, where too much fun was probably had by all. The event was quite an intimate affair with Ketel One Vodka on tap and crepe soles as far as the eye can see, with the collection itself offering depth and directional on what are the key shoes for the coming season. There was also a slick and well shot video to accompany it and a fantastic installation to showcase, what will surely be adorning everyone’s feet soon. Made from plastic is thoroughly recommending you check it out at ASOS.com.  

Corter Leather

Corter Leather is a super-small, one man operation. Every product is 100% hand made by maker Eric Heins in a small bedroom studio in Boston, Massachusetts. Holes are punched and sewn by hand, hardware is set with a mallet, and though most leather is left natural, colored leather is dyed and oiled in house. No templates are ever made; each piece is cut by memory, making no two pieces perfectly alike.

Truman Handcrafted

Truman is the exploration in product design by Teppei Teranishi, expressed primarily through handcrafted leather goods. All pieces are made entirely by hand, from start to finish, using traditional handstitching techniques by Teppei in his small studio on Vashon Island, a small island across the water from Seattle. By combining age old methods with top grade materials, the goal is to make useful, aesthetically pleasing pieces that are truly heirloom quality.

Hollows Leather

In 2008 Hollows Leather started making small leather goods for friends, and family using inherited tools from the garage. With very few exceptions, each project is made to order because Hollows Leather believe that mundane objects are sometimes the most important.
