Shoe customisation with Oliver Sweeney's 'Walk of Art'

London | 01 August 2012 - 26 August 2012

Shoe customisation with Oliver Sweeney’s ‘Walk of Art’

Oliver Sweeney is taking shoe customisation to another level this summer with the ‘Walk of Art’ pop-up at Selfridges London. Due to popular demand, this has noe been extended until 26 August.

Following the success of September 2011’s ‘Tattoo Your Shoe’ event at the iconic London department store, Oliver Sweeney will once again be getting creative with their footwear. 

This year the popular pop-up is giving you even more to play with as the Walk of Art will showcase a range of customising techniques including Tattoo Your Shoe, Tamponato and your choice of coloured shoe laces.

Tamponato is the Italian art of hand colouring shoes; colour is applied in layers to raw leather using brushes and sponges. This gives the shoes a beautiful antique patina and allows the use of different colours and hand painted designs. This type of finish is only normally available on shoes at least double the price making the service a one-off affordable luxury. 

Visit the Oliver Sweeney Walk of Art pop up in Mens Shoes on 1 at Selfridges London from 1 to 26 August.
