Last week, in my post about my latest discovery in footwear brands, I talked about how I appreciate the craftsmanship in accessories, especially shoes. Leather is a material that I love: the more years pass, the more beautiful it looks. When it comes to clothing, ‘brandy’ colored garments and accessories are -to me- like a jean: a basic. Then you will understand why I was so happy when I received a pair of handmade leather shoes in ‘brandy’ color, made in Spain, by Sqüirrel.
Handmade stuff has a plus: usually, they’re one of a kind. As recurrent buyer in Inditex, I’ve found myself so many times in that awkward situation in the metro -just to name an example- when the girl standing next to you is wearing the exact same skirt, shoes or t-shirt. Being conscious about that, I try to look for garments and accessories out of the mainstream style (despite that other times I don’t care at all and I buy the hit of the season). I was very happy, again, when my uncles brought me a present from Greece: inside the paper bag, I found a handmade wooden&cork&leather bag by FW Bags. That one is actually one of a kind!
1. Wooden bag by FW Bags / 2. Daniel Wellington St.Mawes watch / 3. Sqüirrel leather Holi shoes
Remember you can get a Daniel Wellington watch like the one I own and save 15% on your purchase. Use the discount code “albabenitez”, it will be available until July 15th.
Let’s give a long life to craftmanship!

Me encantaron los zapatos? me gusta que aunque el look es simple (menos es más) le da el toque chic, siento que son demasiado versátiles como para darle mucho uso con bastantes outfits ?
Gracias, ¡me alegro que te guste! El look es súper, súper sencillo… con este calor hay días que no me apetece nada pensar y opto por prendas fresquitas. Estoy de acuerdo contigo, los zapatos son súper versátiles y seguro que les daré mucho uso :-)
Un besote!
