Golden Elegance Cinderella

Kerli Valter

Handcrafted vegetable-tanned leather stilettos, decorated with thin leather fringes, part of the โ€˜a Day in Tuscanyโ€™ collection, 2023.

Stilettos with golden steps transport the user to Wonderland. Wondering about the other shoe, the prince, and long golden curly strands, wondering if somebody will step on it. Itโ€™s common to wonder about everything but important not to forget to dream big.

Valter: โ€˜My shoe collection inspired by my stay in Tuscany, full of sensational surprises when you live in the moment, embracing the dayโ€™s every kind of surprise and believing in miracles. Much like crafting, where the imperfections contribute to the uniqueness of each piece, our expectations in our daily lives donโ€™t always turn out as we expect. In both realms, itโ€™s the individual moments and outcomes that stand out as truly unique.โ€™

Part of Craft the Leather, a yearly invitation to talented students and tutors from the most prestigious and innovative international fashion and design institutes to participate in an experiential training workshop.โ€จ
