bootki: I am inspired by the places I have lived—the mountains of Poland, the seaside of England, exciting Washington, DC—the places I have loved—Sicily, Seattle, San Francisco, Spain—and everywhere in between. In 2010 I used my experience working with textiles to design a pair of baby booties (aka “butki” in Polish slang) for my best friend’s newborn baby—and BOOTKI was born. My designs tiptoe the line between fun and classy, using the best fabrics to complement each teensy foot! Each shoe is handcrafted by me in my tiny home studio—which overlooks a fruit-seller and marriage registration office!—and there is a story behind each design.
