About this Event

GOD SAVE THE SHOES: Fabric & Leather Scraps Edition

​Welcome to GOD SAVE THE SHOES: a limited-capacity workshop where we fight footwear waste and unlock your inner designer.

The Concept

​A Sustainable Shoe Makeover Workshop focused on repurposing what already exists. We rescue high-quality materials—originally destined for landfills—and use them to save the shoes you were ready to toss out. This is a hands-on creative experience where transforming your footwear with your own hands becomes something truly incredible. Give your shoes a second life and a high-end, custom touch.

The Experience

  • The Space: A beautiful, curated setting in Soho, New York.
  • The Tools: I’ll provide premium materials and professional tools. This edition features an incredible variety of fabrics and leather scraps in diverse colors and textures. You are welcome to bring your own fabric if you have a specific goal.
  • The Process: After picking your fabric from our material library, you’ll have the freedom to cut it into custom shapes and play with textures to build your look using our signature "Fabric Collage" technique. A pre-workshop guide and demo will be sent to your email.
  • The Vibe: Creative therapy, design inspiration, and great conversation with a small group of like-minded women. You’ll have four hours to fully immerse yourself in the creative flow.
  • The Transformation: The "Before & After" is the most exciting part! You’ll walk away with a pair of shoes that tells a story—your story.

LET'S SAVE THE SHOES!

Bring: One pair of shoes and your imagination. You don't need to have a pair of shoes sitting in your closet to join our workshop; you can just hit up a thrift or vintage store, grab a pair, and give them an amazing makeover! Our vision is all about repurposing materials and shoes to give them a second life.

Mindful Creating: To stay in the creative zone, we encourage limited phone use. Our team will be there to capture the process and your amazing results for social media and promotional purposes.

Join Us: Come solo or bring your bestie!
