THREE SOURCES OF INSPIRATION FOR A UNIQUE TARTAN CLOTH
Your feet will take you to where your heart is
- Scottish proverb -
A real artisan tartan has arrived. A few weeks ago I had my tartan Mary Janes collection ready. When I was about to launch it, the flood of messages was such that I decided to stop everything and continue manufacturing. Because I knew that the demand was going to be important. And I was aware that, if it went on sale, many of you would be left without it.
At Bohemian we make shoes with soul. Because they have a story behind them and because they are built on values that are non-negotiable for us. And we know how much you like them and how much they excite you. And precisely for that reason, because we never play with illusions, I feel uncomfortable every time one of you is left without the shoe you've been longing for. That's why I decided to postpone the launch of the collection, which will finally see the light of day in the next few days. What's to come will no doubt have made the wait worthwhile. Because those of you who want to wear this collection will be able to do so without rushing, without stress and without frustration.
A country, a character and a way of life. Three sources of inspiration for a unique tartan
Three have been my sources of inspiration. Firstly, Scotland. Because the colours and patterns of our tartan patterns transport us to its bustling cities, to the lush nature of the Scottish Highlands, to its legends, to its mythical landscapes of breathtaking contrasts. Eilean Donan Castle, Neist Point on the Isle of Skye, Loch Ness, Melrose Abbey, Inverness, Saint Andrews or Edinburgh... All of them are in this collection that exudes magic and affection from all four sides.
A collection also inspired by the British character. A character with which this brand shares many of its traits. Commitment, the value of tradition, punctuality, rigour, formality... All this is embodied in a collection whose cornerstone is quality craftsmanship. And the fact is that in Bohemian you won't find a tartan with a plastic sole or a lining in leathers of lesser quality than nappa leather. Because I am dedicated to making handcrafted shoes. And craftsmanship is not built on synthetics.
Finally, a collection inspired by the calmness of the islands of the Mediterranean. English Channel. Far from the hustle and bustle of the big cities, far from the noise, the rush and the crowds. These paradises are the paradigm of a way of life. "Slow" that we love. And that's how this collection was developed. Without looking at the clock or the calendar. Simply with calm, dedication and love. Our love. Unhurried love. And this one, you will be able to wear it.
In a few days, if it's tartan, it will be Bohemian.
