Open Heart
“The design idea started with a heart shape, which I played with for several days, until I realized how this shape can be translated into slippers. I love lines, angles, and geometry, so I incorporated them with the crisp twisted rib. These slippers are to be worn at home to feel warm, cozy, and loved!”
