Being self-confessed shoe addicts, me and my companion each recently bought a Manolo Blahnik original during a journey to Europe. Even though it's not soothing to wear stiletto hills, I decided to satiate myself to a Blahnik original on my birthday. The pair that I chose was a very strappy and enchanting footwear with intricate details made of vibrant and shiny beads. I was so enraptured with the craftsmanship behind the amazing pair that I did a little research on how Manolo Blahnik, a noted Spanish shoe designer, creates each masterpiece. I learned from my companion that the unconventional designer Manolo Blahnik was actually born and raised in the Canary Islands but is now based in London and France.
In order to get an original Manolo Blahnik pair, one has to go to select stores in the US or visit his two branches in France or in London because he refuses to extend his business or provide other branches in different countries. His sister and her American partner handle the business side of the company, but for the actual design and making process, Blahnik works alone, with no workers or apprentices. He puts every inch of his being when he creates a pair of shoes, making each pair a sophisticated masterpiece worthy of its reputation as the ultimate symbol of haute couture shoes.
