A Mindfully Made Brand

As the art of handcrafting luxury goods diminishes throughout the US, Calleen Cordero is the only female designer who has managed to revive the traditional craft from the 70’s. At her Los Angeles factory, nearly 40 artisan employees work under one roof to bring Cordero’s designs to life. From sculptors of wooden soles, hand-lasters and sewers, each piece is passed through the hands of talented workers the old school way. Calleen Cordero uses only natural materials and dyes. All heels and wedges begin with planks of adler and ply wood from sustainable forests. All glues used are 80% non toxic to the environment.
