Custom Footwear Info
We offer two options:
We are producing our own brand of sandals, as well as offering services to “revamp” your existing sandals. We are looking to source footbeds and sole materials. They will be high-quality cork & suede based footbeds with durable rubber soles (similar to Birks). Our goal is to make a highly comfortable, durable, and personal piece of wearable artwork for you. You then have the option of choosing a premade design, or coming up with your own. Please note- coming up with your own design is considered custom, and costs more.
We offer 2 styles currently- "Classic Double-Strap" aka "Arizona", and "3-strap with toe-piece" aka "Mayari". These are the only 2 styles we currently work on, however we will add more in the future.
The Process:
You will send your Birks to us, and we will use your footbeds, soles, and buckles, but make new straps using quality vegetable-tanned leather uppers. The new straps will be glued and tacked back onto your original footbeds and soles. We do not offer footbed or sole replacement service at this time- If you need new parts, please purchase our "New Sandals Preorder" listing instead, or purchase new sandles to send to us. Our goal is to make a highly comfortable, durable, and personal piece of wearable artwork for you.
If you are interested in getting some new sandals made by us, or having us revamp yours, please do one of the following options:

Customization (For if you choose to have something unique made):
This is for a pair of sandals with your own custom tooled design! This is a great opportunity to create a piece of wearable art that is extremely personal and useful. Would also make an amazing, unique gift!
- Tooled designs- Examples “GD themed”, “butterflies”, “patchwork”, etc. You may suggest your desired theme, and color scheme, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs given the small amount of space on the straps. We are more than happy to help you come up with ideas too if you aren't sure, or provide our professional opinions on the overall composition, etc. (Included with this purchase is up to 2 hours of professional graphic design work and layout- If a design requires a lot of custom drawing, or is very intricate, extra design time is available at $45/ hr- We will discuss this with you if your design is complicated before we start. ) We provide a sketch for your approval before starting.
- Suede liner color- We have a wide variety of colors to choose from for the inside of your sandals (the part on the underside of the straps).
- Hardware color- Choose copper, gunmetal black, antique brass, or silver for your buckles.
- Stitching color- We have a wide variety of colors to choose from for the thread on the edges of the straps.
Thank you so much for considering supporting our little growing business- where it is our passion to spread as much happiness and joy as possible through our form of artwork and quality, personal products.
We look forward to talking with you soon friends!
