Art of Shoemaking

Critter, Jun 2025

Excellent experience with Haruka. She is a terrific teacher. I was able to select the type of shoe I wanted to make along with the leather and thread. I recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys making original works of art, which is what these shoes are!

100% recommend this experience

We had a great time making shoes! Communication with Haruka was great from the very beginning. She met us at the station and took us to her atelier where we were able to choose they style of shoe, leather, and other design features. And then we set to work cutting out the pieces and sewing the shoes together. Her instructions were easy to follow. We each left with a fun pair of shoes that we will cherish forever.

Bespoke handmade shoes
