Handmade luxury masterpieces

Deborah Thomson is the artist behind Figgie Shoes. Since her accidental start (she started painting shoes as a favor for a friend), she received requests from people in over 40 countries all over the globe, and regularly ships products to almost every continent. More than just a number in a mass of emails, each client is important to Deborah.

Each order is equally important to her, each pair of shoes is uniquely designed for them.

“I’m all about little details and hidden surprises," Deborah says. “My favourite part is hearing and seeing firsthand the reactions from my clients when they first open their shoebox. That reaction makes all the time and effort so worth it.”
