Update on our journey: The first versions of the shoes are ready!
Greetings, cherished shoe enthusiasts, and ardent followers of Lejer Boutique!
It's Luciana, your faithful correspondent, updating you on our journey, and today, I'm happy to unfold an exhilarating chapter in our saga.
Our pioneering collection, the one that has been a persistent thought, tirelessly sketched, and ardently worked on over many moons, has achieved a remarkable landmark: the debut versions of our shoes are finally a reality!
The journey from a dream in the picturesque city of Verona to the tangible trio of our foundational styles — a Mary Jane, a loafer, and a boot — has been a rollercoaster.
This voyage was fraught with moments of uncertainty, instances where doubt cast shadows over our aspirations.
Did our ambition dwarf our capabilities? Could we deliver on the promises we'd made to ourselves and to you?
But, as every dreamer will testify, it's these questions that fuel the drive to make visions a reality.
At the heart of Lejer Boutique is our steadfast mission to redefine the shoe-shopping experience.
We strive to create an all-embracing brand for women, particularly those blessed with slightly wider feet.
It was this mission that toughened us against every obstacle, prompting us to translate our sketches into patterns, and then to craft these patterns into shoes.
Fast forward to the present, and our dream has taken physical form. Behold our first creations, ready to stride into the world.
Our Mary Jane is a marriage of tradition and trend, blending timeless style with contemporary fashion seamlessly.
And then there’s our boot. Robust yet stylish, this shoe is a tribute to the innate strength and resilience we embody as women.
As promised, all three styles are approximately 0.5cm wider than the standard, ensuring that your toes have the freedom to flex and breathe.
But while we celebrate this accomplishment, it's crucial to note that these are the first versions of our models. We're working on refining elements, like the type of leather and the buckles, to offer you an even better fit and aesthetic.
Speaking of breathing, we can't ignore the importance of ensuring our beautiful planet gets to breathe easier. Our commitment to your comfort is paralleled only by our devotion to reducing our environmental footprint. To this end, we'll be producing these models in limited quantities, minimizing waste.
A window for pre-orders and exclusive early access for our community will help you secure your pair, while we stay true to our commitment to sustainable fashion.
As with any creative journey, our path has been anything but linear. Our collaboration with the skilled Italian artisans in the Marche region has been an enriching experience that has left us in awe of their craft.
Their unwavering commitment to their work and their ability to breathe life into our vision has been integral to our story. We've learned, not just about the art of shoe making, but about the beauty of synergy and the joy of shared creation.
While we celebrate this milestone, it's important to remember that it's not our destination. We're already peering into the future, dreaming, and strategizing for what lies ahead. This is just one step — an exciting, significant step — in our ever-evolving journey.
As we take this step, we are aware of the power of dreams, and the joy of seeing them take shape. Looking at these first versions of our shoes, I have a profound sense of gratitude and pride.
We've traveled quite a distance, and yet I know that our journey is just beginning. The thrill of sharing each step with you is something I look forward to.
So, dear friends, buckle up and lace your shoes, for the journey continues. Keep an eye out for updates on the pre-order window, and get ready to leave an imprint on the world with Lejer Boutique’s foundational collection.
In the spirit of this achievement and with so much enthusiasm for what's yet to come,
Luciana
