Shoes and Bags

One of my childhood dream was to be a designer. To make changes and for better. After graduating Product Design in 2006 in Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) , I lived and worked almost 10 years in Argentina. Working as a designer and also with other projects I am passioned about. 2019 I started my Master studies - leather and accessories design in EKA (Estonia). In my first year of studies I had opportunity to participate in many footwear workshops 2019/2020 and learned also to make different footwears. Most of my projects I highly consider needs and nature. In my design products I prefer to use natural materials, leftovers and recycled materials. Always trying to design for needs and make conscious choices.

Golden Tango

In January 2021 I was for a while in Argentina and knocked on shoemakers doors. One of them open the door for me and teached me how to make tango shoes. One step closer to dance tango in these shoes.

Bag VALTER

It's a big thing to have sometimes a big bag. It's endless, just digg in and find suprises inside the big bag Valter.
But it's more than that, a big thing, cause it's made from Estonian Footwear company leftovers.

Handmade shoes Mrs. King

Mrs. King is all about handmade pair of shoe. In this project we also made our own personal wood lasts. They are handmade and command a serious time dedication, they still need to be finished due to lack of time. Inspired from the elegant era of the 1920s.
