This was a quick and comfortable outfit for a trip to our local Goodwill to donate 4 bags of clothing and shoes! It felt so good to get rid of the excess that was just sitting unloved in our closet. The best part of getting rid of things is making room for the pieces that you genuinely love, like my new shoes!
Last year I discovered Marca shoes at the Seattle THREAD show. I blogged about my discovery of these amazing handmade shoes back in this post, but I realized I have never blogged an outfit wearing them! This is ridiculous since I've been sporting them quite frequently these last few months.
Marca is a brand based in Seattle by mother-daughter team Martha and Catherina. The shoes are manufactured by a small group of Colombian shoe-makers. I love that by wearing these shoes I can not only support a local family brand of innovators and talented designers, but I know that these shoes were handmade with the utmost care by my own countrymen and women!
Marca is still a small business but they will soon be unrolling their new spring line and I highly recommend that you pick yourself up a pair of these well-made, comfortable, stylish, and unique shoes. I'll be following up with when the designs come out and how you can purchase some, for now you might be able to snag some on Smashing Darling (but I'd contact them first to see if they still have inventory.) Speaking of, Smashing Darling is quickly becoming a favorite online shopping site because it's filled with indie and eco fashion!
*This is in NO way a sponsored post! I just love these ladies, their vision, and the gorgeous ethical products they create!
