snazzy shoes from Greenpoint and Guatemala

I met up with my friend at the Brooklyn Flea this weekend. By the time we met up he had already bought some of the snazziest pair of shoes I've seen in quite a while.

Turns out they were designed by Osborn Design Studio. A local business run by couple Carla Venticinque-Osborn and Aaron Osborn in Greenpoint. They work with cobblers in Guatemala to make hand made, fair trade shoes out of locally sourced materials. Oh, and did I mention they're really snazzy?

You can't get much better than do-goodery and great design. You can pick up a pair for yourself at Alter, Oak, or their stall at the Brooklyn Flea. Every color way is limited run, so act quick!
