Hourglass Footwear. They're more than shoes. They are works of art!

Hello there, my lovely readers! I am very excited to talk to you about another amazing company that I have fallen in love with! They provide such a unique service, that I was just thrilled about the idea of spreading the word about this amazing company! Hourglass Footwear, based out of Seattle Washington, specializes in hand painting women's footwear to create custom shoes that are more than shoes, they are works of art! Kira Bundlie, co- creator of Hourglass Footwear, explained it very succinctly, "There are so many boring and mass produced elements in fashion these days. We wanted to create amazing custom footwear and give stylish women everywhere a more exciting option." And that is exactly what Hourglass Footwear does beautifully. It gives women more exciting choices while allowing your creativity to shine! So let's get into the details, shall we?

Hourglass footwear has a variety of styles including platform heels, stilettos, mid-size heels, flats and comfort. You will see the array and variety you can choose from when you visit their website at www.hourglass footwear.com. The process is simple! You pick the style of shoe you desire. Then you choose from an array of designs available on their site, or you can get a custom pair if desired. You can also send them your own new or lightly used, clean pair of shoes and they will design them for you. They must be leather or leather like however, so no patent or suede shoes ladies! The prices of these lovely creations range from about $140.00 - $260.00 depending on the style and design you choose. They also have a very handy FAQ section on their website for more specific inquiries, so please check 'em out! 

Hourglass Footwear was founded by Kira Bundlie and Lisa Strom. The ladies opened their virtual doors on June 7, 2012. Kira and Lisa also work closely with 10 other very talented artists, to assist them in the process of creating hand painted works of art for you to wear. They can design just about anything on your shoes. They can even put your company logo on your shoes if you wish!  If you want special shoes for your wedding day, they can do that! They sky is the limit. Use your imagination. But, do note, that the company cannot do any trade marked cartoons such as  Mickey Mouse, and the like, because those characters do have have copyrights, so them are the rules guys!  But as you can see from the pcitures here and on the web site, there are so many options that you will have plenty to choose from and love!

One last and very cool note about this company...they worked with Jinkx Monsson, the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 6. Miss. Monsoon wore a pair of Hourglass shoes made special for her for the finale of the show where she was crowned America's Next Drag Superstar! So, that is indeed very cool! Ladies, let us follow the ingenious example of Miss Monsoon and check out these works of art. I know you will not be disappointed!
