Artyce Designs – Unique Treats for Your Feet

Monday Oct 1, 2007 – By Nikki J. Duckworth

artyccebazilephotoshoot5.jpgTired of seeing everybody and their mother sportin’ the same tired stiletto? Then step up in Artyce Designs. Artyce Designs is the brainchild of Candra Palmer who decided to take matters into her own hands after not being able to find footwear that suited her unique tastes. “I always shopped in boutiques growing up in Chicago just for the unique and one-of-a-kind styles,” she states. “So I felt that I needed the same with my footwear collection.” The company is named after her mother, whose work as a seamstress exposed Candra to the design process early in life. She now brings that same creative spirit into her own inimitable work.

Artyce Designs takes the shoe shopping experience to a whole new level, by offering the option to design your very own shoes. Customers can choose from a wide variety of fabrics and trims including crocodile and feathers to create a shoe that is truly distinctive! Artyce Designs boutique even has custom design parties where clients can create shoes that center around a special occasion.

We can imagine Beyonce or Victoria Beckham doing their thing in these shoes, but fortunately Artyce designs caters to all women who appreciate fine footwear that’s stylish and comfortable. Many of the designs feature show-stopping embellishments such as exquisite crystals that “are ideal for a wedding party, socialite, or frequent visitor of fabulous events.” Candra’s work has been seen at many a red carpet event including the Oscars and the Grammys.

Artyce Designs are available exclusively at Artyce Designs boutique in Los Angeles. For more information visit artycedesigns.com or set up an appointment with a design consultant at (310) 838-SHOE (7463).
