Ancient Greek Handmade Sandals & shoes, made of selected leather pieces
I was born in Athens, Greece in 1984 and discovered my artistic nature at an early age, focusing on painting and various hand constructions. As a teenager, I realized I could combine my creative skills with my love for beauty and elegance through the process of making jewelry, by bringing items of usability, durability and real value into existence. So I decided to study the art of jewelry. At the same time I started working as an assistant in one of the most important handmade silver jewelry workshops of my city, where I gained considerable experience and learned the secrets and techniques of silversmithing next to a successful craftsman.
Having an overall 20 year experience in the designing and making of sterling silver jewelry, I needed to express my creativity in a different form.
Hence, I started designing leather sandals and shoes with my inspiration being drawn from Ancient Greece - elements of which I have tried to incorporate to plenty of my designs.
My main goal is for my creations to be elegant, modern and unique and also for the best possible quality to be ensured.
I believe that everything that a man makes with his hands is unique and its evaluation is always subjective. For some it is a masterpiece, for some just another construction.
Thus, I retain a realistic and humble approach when I estimate the value of my work, although it is invaluable to me!
My greatest reward is to see happy people wearing one of my creations or offering it to a loved one!
I hope you will love my designs as much as I do!
