Inside this issue:
Sachetto Construction: Environmentally safe and travel-friendly
French designer Thierry Rabotin’s innovative creations are hand-crafted using a soft sachetto construction, eliminating metal fasteners and toxic glues, making them lightweight, environmentally safe and travel-friendly since they don't trip the airport security sensors. Of his line Rabotin says, "I like to design shoes that envelop the feet giving the pleasant sensation of walking barefoot." They are just like that! With soft, exquisite selections of leather from only the best Italian tanneries, Rabotin stays true to his vision. His designs are not trendy, Euro-chic flights of fancy; in Europe, they are fashion staples — born of an eye for beauty and comfort. One can wear them with white blouse and jeans or a cute A-line skirt with tights. Truly, a pair of Rabotin's is a must-buy.
