The Stitchdown PREMIUM Shoecast

Hey! Ben from Stitchdown here. This past season on the Shoecast I sat down wit with Brooklyn based bespoke shoemaker Anne Marika Verploegh Chassé. Marika’s a wonder, and touches so many areas of the footwear continuum.So we had to keep the chat in her Brooklyn apartment slash workshop going for this bonus episode, which covers everything from how she makes spot-on fitting shoes entirely out of packing tape, if there’s something incomplete when learning shoemaking exclusively online, her various teaching gigs, the wild grind of making custom shoes for broadway, why, when you wear a great pair of boots, nothing else really matters. As always, HUGE thanks for being a Stitchdown Premium supporter for these bonus episodes, it really means so damn much. Here’s Marika, again, on the Cast.
