Light
The Light is a meticulously hand-crafted high heel shoe born from prototyping and experimentation between expert shoe makers in Peru and modern 3D modelling and rapid prototyping.
The design features a hidden internal wedge that connects to the heel and lift to create the shoe's distinct silhouette. The shoe also features an exposed metallic heel tip, hand-stitched waist details, and custom sole graphics.
Made in Peru.
