Saskia Wittmer was born in Berlin and after having attended Steiner schools, she decided to pursue her childhood dream. It was a dream that had her gazing in shoemakers' windows rather than playing with dolls. She learned the trade from a master shoemaker in the Hamburg countryside; then she moved to Florence where she worked for a craftsman, learning the secrets of the trade, for three years. The time had come to open her own shop. Here Saskia designs, cuts and stitches shoes, mainly for men, but also for women especially fabric shoes to match dresses or moccasins. She uses the finest skins and materials (calf, kid, kangaroo, ostrich, alligator, elephant, shark, camel, perch and tripe) that she selects herself. Each pair of shoes is different, made to match the client's personality and destined to last for a long time comfortable, beautiful and above all, unique.
