Shoe Week, Day 3: Manimal
Manimal Ribcage Flat and Double Fringe Bootie, $180-$200.
I was introduced to this brand through the most excellent earrings I’ve ever owned, and its hallmark moccasin designs are no disappointment whatsoever. I love the double-fringe high top and am excited about the new two-tone option (bottom right in the image). Each piece is handmade by a team of “no more than three craftspeople,” and reuse of scraps is a part of their design process (per the earrings and necklaces). The site’s old About page was one of my favorites ever — of its former Massachusetts location, it read, “All pieces are hand-made in a small third floor apartment
 where the eaves fall into the walls.”
Also available at Beklina.

I’ve seen her line before. I really, really wish she made mens’s shoes.
Excellent work as always.

Just a note – if you order from the Manimal site, she does offer mens’ mocs.
