stores, and it instantly became clear that everybody loved it.

While studying architecture, Guillaume realized that there weren’t any premium highquality sneakers out there for a reasonable price. Recognizing both a challenge and an o p p o rt u n i t y, h e s t a rt e d t o design - following his vision of creating a unique shoe. A shoe that would bridge the gap between streetwear and high-end fashion.

Nowadays our collection consists of a variety of unique and contemporary models. All of them handmade with great care in Portugal, using only the finest Italian materials. Staying true to our Amsterdam roots, we also love to travel the world and get inspired by the great styles and people all over the world. As we bring our passion and inspiration to more and more places, Filling Pieces is becoming a real global brand.

At the end of that same year, the first Filling Pieces collection was born, consisting of one unique silhouette: the ‘Low Top’. Guillaume pitched this model to friends, family and

Always ensuring the highest quality and original designs, we maintain affordable prices. Filling Pieces wants everybody to be able to experience the feeling of true quality-footwear.

WHY ARE SHOES NOT MADE AFTER OUR FEET? Th i s w a s t h e q u e s t i o n , E i k Braun-Ottosen asked himself and the mission was to make footformed shoes fashionable. By choosing the brand name Nature, we also feel responsible i n re d u c i n g t h e f o o t p r i n t we leave on the planet, our outsoles are made of recycle materials and shoelaces are made of old plastic bottles. Nature is born in Denmark a n d d e s i g n e d a ft e r D a n i s h standards, which equals simple design and functionality.

HAPPY FEET Nature shoes are designed to make your feet happy. Opposite other shoes there are actually room for your feet in Nature shoes. Furthermore they are super light weight and breathable, which makes you able to wear them all the time. When you try a pair of Nature shoes on, you should be aware that your feet are meant to touch the toecap. This is because the shoes are f o r m e d a ft e r y o u r f e e t , s o you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need that extra 1 centimeter as in other shoes.

MANIFESTO We envision a future that is distinctly human, where life leads design and people precede product. Our small and nimble team works harder and smarter to infuse simplicity and seamlessness into everyday life; to reunite

style and substance; to find a natural harmony between technology and humanity; to bring our vision of the future one step closer to reality. We are the exception to the expected. We are Brandblack.

HIGH PERFORMANCE LEISURE. People Footwear is ultra–light, supremely comfortable and perfect for doing whatever it is you do.

Headquartered in Vancouver, People Footwear™ is dedicated to producing the next generation of casual footwear through the use of innovative m at e r i a l s a n d t h e l at e s t i n high–tech manufacturing. We imagine a future that is lighter, brighter, and more comfortable and we make the footwear to help take you there.

Growing up in New Zealand, Tim Brown couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but notice all the amazing qualities of merino wool. In fact, it made him wonder why such an incredible, sustainable resource had never been used in footwear before. This simple question became the beginning of an incredible journey to make a revolutionary textile that would, hopefully, create a whole new category of shoes inspired by natural materials.

A ft e r y ea r s o f re s ea rc h i n g , testing, Kickstarting, and chasing his vision, Tim teamed up with Joey Zwillinger, a San Francisco based engineer and renewables expert. Together, they partnered with one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great Italian textile mills to create an innovative wool fabric made specifically for footwear, and successfully designed the most comfortable shoe imaginable. Allbirds was created with a vision to do things differently.

Established in 1964, SeaVees is the original way to go casual. With a groundbreaking advertising campaign throughout the 1960s, SeaVees pioneered the transformation o f t h e s n e a ke r f ro m g y m shoe to casual shoe. For any social affair, one could show up in SeaVees; a comfortable sneaker with the sophistication of a dressier shoe. Today SeaVees honors its 1960s origin by continually making modern amendments to classic design, resulting in a timeless

sneaker of exceptional quality. Steven Tiller brings over 25 years of brand building success to SeaVees. His vision has influenced the creative direction of many of the top names in the footwear industry. Today, the native of Norman, OK is pursuing his lifelong Ca l i f o r n i a d re a m w i t h h i s family in Santa Barbara, CA. Read Stevenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story of how a chance encounter in a Tokyo thrift store led to the rebirth of a forgotten American original.

M.Gemi is named after one of our founding members, Maria Gangemi, a longtime devotee of Italian craftsmanship and artistry. Growing up in Sicily, Maria developed strong relationships and learned the l u x u r y f o o t w ea r t ra d e f ro m the best in the business. Her passion, knowledge, and experience come through in everything we make. She recalls a time in Italy, not long ago, when she would wander the cobblestone streets and routinely discover goods created with the most exacting attention to design and quality. Each week, boutiques would display new, limitededition shoes handmade by neighboring shoemakers, just

a few doors down the street. They were always fresh, always rare, and always reasonably priced. That same sense of uniqueness and discovery inspired us to c reat e M . G e m i . W i t h ro o t s in Florence, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve partnered with the top family-owned factories, whose skills have been passed on generation after generation, to produce both timeless and on-trend shoes that are uncompromised in their construction. We are proud to sell our products directly to clients at prices unseen in the traditional luxury category, while maintaining the same level of service, quality and design theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to expect.
