As a special treat for today I have the privilege of sharing with you all a sneak peek of some very exciting new items by one of my all-time favorite shoe designers, Jon Josef.
If you're not familiar with Jon Josef (J.J. Egido), he is a Spanish designer who specializes in making women's shoes that are not only extremely stylish but affordable ($90-250) and focused on comfort. At the age of 21 he left his native Alicante, Spain to market his family's shoes in the US. As Americans fell in love with his shoes, he fell hard for America - the country, its culture, and his one true love, Louisa. Since his marriage to Louisa, Jon Josef has moved permanently to the USA and he and his wife work together on his namesake collection - J.J. as the designer and Louisa as his Marketing Manager.
Thus, through Jon Josef's amazing journey the "Union" (below, top) and "Liberty" (below, bottom) shoes were born. These shoes were just shipped to Chicago retailer Lori's Shoes. They are available in their store starting this week and should be available for purchase on Lori's website very soon! Check back here to see when they hit the online store. J.J. and Louisa were very kind in sharing with me this fantastic preview of these great new shoes! I hope you enjoy them. Jon Josef's spirited designs and the story behind them could not better represent the American dream in all of us!
