How to define "designer."
In the fashion industry, the word "designer" is often used in a loose way. This is especially true of factories that make a lot of shoes that look like the top shoes on the market.
We don't do it the same way. How you'd expect to get a real designer shoe made for you. Christopher McCallum, the head designer at Vein, sketches each new design first as a concept, then works and reworks it with graphite on paper until he has a final drawing. Then, a prototype shoe is made by hand with great care.
The new design is then put into production and brought to life for our discerning clients using the best leathers, hand-picked for their uniqueness and quality from well-known international and Australian tanneries.
When you look at our famous Vein shoes, it's easy to see that they have qualities that other shoes only hope to have. Designs and quality are influenced by the great fashion houses, classic architecture, and the people, beautiful places, and interesting ways of life we see around the world.
As you can see, we live, breathe, fantasise, and dream about men's shoes. Because of this burning passion, Vein is the best Australian designer shoe brand for men. In 2005, Mercedes Australian Fashion Week invited only one men's shoe brand, Vein, to show. Innovative clothing brands like "NYOU," "Leopold," "Tom, Dick & Harry," "Red Cordial," and "Always Habit," which won the Australian Fashion Design Awards, choose to pair their clothes with Vein on the runway. Kenzo, Morrisey, and Leopold all wore Vein shoes on the runway at the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival in 2006.
The word "vein" means "best." When you wear Vein shoes, you'll feel it, look it, and live it, too.
Vein shoes. Love more. Stress less. Use your imagination. And most of all, don't envy anyone.
