TABITHA RINGWOOD is a bespoke footwear designer, obsessed by the history of objects that have lived, firmly believing that an object’s value is persistently enhanced over time. Her shoes explore the sense of touch through a variety of recycled materials and textures, encouraging engagement in order to allow for constant evolution of the relationship between the wearer and what is worn. With an unprecedented look and feel, her tactile shoes are the result of a complex, entirely handcrafted manufacturing process and extensive research. The enigmatic nature of her shoes gives each pair its own user-defined impact – it is the culmination of moral values (using offcuts and reclaimed materials) combined with a vision that has matured over the years.
