We have a special treat in the workshop for this year's Day of the Dead festivities.
Local artist Diana Rose hand painted the leather pieces for a pair of our Merry Jane shoes before they were sewn together. Her artistry features two caballero skeletons outlined in white stitching and decorated with patterns inspired by the work of Frida Kahlo. The final touch: a red leather rose on the vamp of each shoe.
Sorry, but you won't be finding these very unique Merry Janes for sale on our site. Diana planned to wear them herself, but when she saw the final product she had second thoughts about letting them get dirty.

Just in time for Día de Muertos!
