Design Your Own Pair of Shoes with Habbot's New Online Platform
Mix 'n' match your favourite colours and materials as you create your very own pair.
The only thing cooler than stepping out in a pair of Habbot shoes this spring would be stepping out in a pair that you designed yourself. It's not a pipe dream either, now that the Aussie-designed, Italian-made footwear company has relaunched #myhabbot – an online platform where customers can mix and match their favourite materials to customise a pair of the label's must-have shoes.
You might have heard about Habbot's "customise a classic" concept when they trialled it last October, with shoe-lovers jumping at the chance to play designer during a series of weekly events at Habbot's Strand Melbourne store.
This time around #myhabbot is here to stay, with a new online customisation platform allowing customers across Australia and the world to create footwear magic with just a few clicks of the mouse. Pick from one of four Habbot favourites – the classic derby, the point pump, the mid-heel sandal or a micro sole derby – and a whopping 24 different materials running from suedes and soft nappa leathers to party-ready glitters.
After you select your shoe lace colour and decide on the addition of brogueing (that hole-punch detailing), the design is sent off to Habbot's craftsmen in Italy. All in all, the final product should be on your feet within a month. There's also the option of heading into the store for a consultation, if you prefer a face-t0-face approach to your shoe design.
