The Loaded Trunk

Amodern take on Swedish clogs, Bryr Studio crafts clogs by hand in their small production studio, which also houses a retail space, in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco. Each pair of clogs takes about a week to create. The delicious color palette changes seasonally and clogs can be made-to-order, so if you see a color you love, snag it soon before the next range of hues replaces it. I love mine – so cute and comfy – and have another pair on the way.
