I design and hand make shoes to order in a small workshop in Essex, UK. You can view the current Kimono Collection online at www.hettyrose.co.uk , choose a style, and have it made to measure and in a vintage kimono fabric of your choice. The shoes start from £260 and take approximately 6 weeks to cut, stitch and make.
The process includes taking measurements and photos of your feet and then (if you are based in the UK) we would do a fitting at a half-way stage. If you live abroad it is also possible to have your dream shoes made. I can explain how to measure your own feet (its not too difficult!) and then email/post the information over to me here at the workshop and then go from there.
