Design Bureau Recommends…

We love Design Bureau Magazine. It’s a creative publication based in Chicago that focuses on innovative design, architecture, fashion, and all those involved.

The November/December 2013 issue features our Chilote Natural House Shoes.  Made with repurposed and up-cycled salmon leather and free range patagonian sheep wool. The salmon skin is soft like suede and extremely flexible. The wool absorbs moisture, repels water, and filters air, allowing your foot to breathe but still stay warm. The wool also has self cleaning capabilities that do not require any industrial additives or processes. They are hand-made by independent and self organizing artisan groups in Chile.
