We are so very excited to kick off our RCF Holiday Market Tour blog extravaganza with a spotlight on Bryr Clogs by Isobel Schofield. Yes, handmade clogs. This first-time Renegade maker will be showing her gorgeous (and gorgeously detailed) clogs at the first-ever Renegade Craft Fair Holiday Market in Brooklyn on November 17+18 (and the RCF Holiday Market in San Francisco on December 15+16!). We’re already picking out our favorites.  {All pictures and quotes from the Bryr website.}

“Bryr means to care in Swedish and is pronounced like the English word briar. When designing my first collection I thought about what I wanted: I’ve always been a big flea market shopper, a vintage collector and lover of all things granny. I started designing the line by visiting an amazing 100 yr old leather factory and choosing my favorite hides. The rest just came naturally.”

“I believe whole-heartedly in the intrinsic value of well-made things. I believe it’s about time that we treated the things we wore with as much thought as the things we eat- that they are made with fair practices, that the makers are treated with respect, that they are made to last and that they use sustainable materials. I want to make clogs that in 20 years, your daughter will pull out of the closet and want to wear because they are timeless, beautiful and well made.”
