Solace London is a British womenswear brand founded by Laura Taylor and Ryan Holliday-Stevens in 2013. Longtime friends and collaborators, the duo share a dynamic background spanning design, production, retail, marketing and creative direction.
They also happen to be our neighbours, so it was a real pleasure when they asked us to work on sampling the shoes for their Resort 2020 collection. The collection is absolutely beautiful and vogue.com couldn't agree more!
We've been working in the same building as Solace London for over 5 years so it's wonderful to have the opportunity to work with them, we' can't wait to start working on the prototype for their next collection... But that's top secret for now! I created a free 40-minute online course called 'Introduction to Shoemaking' to show how easy home shoemaking can be and to give you a little taste of what I Can Make Shoes is all about. SIGN UP HERE for instant access. If you are wanting to dive a little deeper into the world of home shoemaking, my online Footwear Masterclass is one of the most popular shoemaking courses in the world!! 🌍 (Casual brag! lol) The course covers how to make shoes from scratch including heels, flats, boots, sneakers, sandals, and more. The thing that really sets this course apart from others is that it's specifically designed for total beginners and requires very little in the way of tools & equipment, there's even a bonus module on how to start your own shoe brand. To make getting started even easier, the course comes with a FREE Shoemaking Starter Kit, delivered to your door, anywhere in the world! 🌍 We are a tight community and regularly limit our intake to ensure the best experience for our students - so if our enrolment is closed I would recommend you sign up for our FREE Introduction to Shoemaking course while you wait. Happy Shoemaking, Amanda xx Pssssssst.... If you want to have a look at the shoes our students have been making, give us a follow on Instagram.learn shoemaking for yourself
