MEET THE MAKER

From a lifelong love for shoes, Annelieke makes timeless, distinctive shoes. Handmade designs in small editions for women who make conscious choices in their career and who have their own view of the world. Annelieke makes shoes for them that they can stand on, both literally and figuratively. The creations are made of quality leather and biodegradable materials from Italy. Annelieke has her studio in Delft and uses the workshop of master shoemaker René van den Berg in Hoofddorp.

WHAT ARE YOUR FEEDBACKS?

‘I started my company as a shoe designer and maker a year ago. Through my participation in Crafting Business, I have come to see myself more as an entrepreneur. I have been able to sharpen my vision and mission, so that I now have a clear picture of the customers I want to reach. Moreover, it was very valuable for me to exchange ideas with other makers and designers.’
