Über dieses Projekt
We focus on shoes that the modern woman can wear without compromising on style or comfort. Our shoes are crafted by the highest quality artisan shoe makers in Italy, without the luxury price tag.
Our design are inspired from Aksha's life journey. The vivid colours and floral details are inspired by her Indian roots. Whereas the clean lines and bold silhouettes come from her relationship and travels to Scandinavia.
We make our shoes in a region of Italy called Veneto. This region is known for its highly skilled craft in women’s shoes. We work with a small, family run factory, which we are proud to do, when today mass production is the norm.
Until now, we’ve been selling our shoes through retail shops. While we have received great response from our customers, we have also understood that quality craftsmanship is not accessible to most people. Retail margins add up to 300% to cover marketing costs and high cost of rents. This makes the shoes unnecessarily expensive for our customer.
Because of this, we have decided to take a step back and rethink our business model. We have decided to sell our shoes directly and move away from retail completely, in order to offer you our customer the same quality product at a much better price. The help we get from all of you will help us fund our vision of well-crafted, high-quality shoes that are less exclusive and more affordable.

ABOUT US
I am Aksha the designer and co-founder of the brand. Lars is my partner and the second founder. He helps me with the business and digital side of things. I am from India and Lars is from Sweden, we met in Italy while studying different design subjects. I did my architecture in India and then later moved on to shoes and accessories because of my interest in the craft.
We aren't great in front of the camera, hence apologies for sounding nervous in the video! However, I hope our message and passion comes through the entire project. Please feel free to send us your thoughts and feedback on the campaign. We would love to hear from you.
Risiken und Herausforderungen
DELIVERY TIMES:
We've been working with our current factory and suppliers since 2013, and we completely trust their craftsmanship and quality of work. However, having said that, not everything is in our control. At times, there might be delays in the supply and assembly of components, which could delay the whole production process. We have prepared our factory for production in May and have also included some buffer time in case of any delays.
SHOE COLOURS:
Leather colours always vary and are never exactly the same. The intensity of any colour can have variations depending on the skin and grain of the particular piece of leather. Secondly, the colours you see on your screen might vary from the actual leather colours, since each display renders colours differently.
SHOE SIZE:
At the end of the campaign, we will send a survey to all our backers and ask for your shoe size. Please follow the guidelines we have provided on measuring your foot size and coordinating to the size chart. If you have any doubts, please get in touch with us.
CUSTOMS & DUTIES:
If you live outside the EU, there is a possibility you might have to take care of duties in your country.
EXCHANGES & RETURNS:
All our rewards on Kickstarter will not be refunded or returned. We will do a careful quality inspection with our factory. Our production numbers will be limited, but we will add some additional stock at our own risk. If there are any problems, we will do our best to support you on a case-by-case basis. However, please do keep in mind that we are small company and we do not hold large stock. Please pay attention to our explanations about sizes and colours, to ensure we can provide you shoes that match your expectations as far as possible.
We aim to be transparent and communicate with you at each and every step of the process and inform you of any possible hurdles during or after production.
