This week's Work In Progress installment is a perfect testament to how serious we are: If you can dream it, we can make it. And we will follow your instructions to the letter to ensure that you receive exactly what you want.
The design was a creative combination of two different shoes already on the market. To show you how one person chose to convey her idea, we're just going to publish what she submitted. Voila!
"I want the boot to be knee-high with the lace-up look. I DON'T want a zipper though. I want it to be a fully functioning lace-up boot. That way, I can have it fit my calf perfectly no matter if I'm just wearing tights or I'm wearing thick and very bulky socks. I don't like the suede leather though, which is where the second picture comes in. I would like the boot to have virtually no heel."
"I would like the boot to have this finish to the leather. The kind of...old and worn leather. I shy away from distressed because I know that usually means it has different types of tools used to make it look worn, but I would like it not to be shiny and new looking. I want it to have a matte finish. If possible, I would like the top three grommets used on this boot to be used throughout the made boot."
Clear, concise and specific - made our job easy! Here's her sample creation:
Fashion Nirvana, right? And keep in mind, you can submit your design ideas however you feel most comfortable. We accept sketches, plain text, or even something like this.
Before we produce a sample, we'll double-check with you via email that we completely understand what it is you want. Then we'll send you photos (exactly like these, actually) of your creation for approval. If it's to your liking, then we can get to work on specific colors and details.
(Of course, if it's not to your liking, then we fix it. Period.)
So what do you think of these lace-up flat boots? Tell us in the comments below. Expect to see it available in our store soon.
