Exquisite Shoes With Intricate Hand-Carved Wooden Platforms

Designer LanVy Nguyen from studio Fashion4Freedom designs gorgeous shoes with intricately detailed hand-carved wooden platforms.

Each pair of shoes takes 18-22 days to be fashioned and involves the handiwork of multiple artisans, who specialize in wood-crafting, leather-crafting, cobbling, and lacquering.

The shoes feature a quality leather top (which is available in three colors: black, pumpkin orange, and latte nude) and a wooden carved base, with a 3-inch front platform and a 6-inch heel. These wearable pieces of art fuse ancient symbols combined with a modern affinity for comfort.

Entitled Saigon Socialite, the shoe collection pays homage to the ancient craft of Pagoda wood art. The pieces are available on Etsy.
