Tuscan Leather (Cuoio Di Toscana)
All my sandal soles are made in Italy with Tuscan leather which adapts naturally to your feet, thus allowing your feet to breath.

It’s a good feeling knowing that you are supporting them and helping them on their business journey. One such friend in business has a label called BEACH STREET Design. They are...
