TEN & co.

lauren williams photographed by adam hribar, styled by leila thurtell & eva mccausland & art directed by priya sanghvi & dan goldstein for TEN & co., lookbook fall/winter 2012.

every pair of TEN & co. shoes is cut from unique vintage & antique hand-woven moroccan rugs & supple leathers. designer tony noll scours rug auctions, souks, marrakech flea markets & the atlas mountains to find strong, colorful rugs & blankets that tell a story in each shoe. handmade in small batches by a cobbler in marrakech, their shoes combine a classic oxford with the vibrant colors & patterns of north africa.

mine, mine, mine!!

yes, these beauties are all mine!

schier velskoen

lookbook images by jason eric hardwick.

schier shoes have been making velskoen shoes out of the coastal town of swakopmund, namibia since 1935. a small group of eight damara gentlemen assemble every shoe by hand, turning out just 20 pairs a day. velskoen, pronounced "fell-skoon" are known colloquially in south africa as "vellies" & are the ancestor of the modern day desert boot. vellies were first made in the 1600s, inspired by the footwear of the khoikhoi tribe & crafted using raw materials. later, schier vellies were adapted by british travellers, packaged & renamed to be what is now known as desert boots.  herbert schier vellies are made of vegetable-dyed kudu leather. the namibian government mandates the culling of these large native antelope to control their population.
