They learn to design, pattern cutting, choose the right materials, method of bonding, assembly, foot position, the impact on the comfort and getting special effects, finalization, packaging, branding and finding customers. The whole process is based on a constant curiosity and exploration. Skills that Sandra has are curiosity, creativity and skills that allow her to turn every idea into a captivating shoe and to push herself constantly to improve knowledge and to organize her own business and brand. An important spice in the realization of the dream of a little girl from mother’s shoes who is infected by dad’s knowledge of branding, is the generous support of family.
