MOZART VS SALIERI

IF I ONLY HAD ...
	... one pair of shoes, they would be comfy red ballet flats with a ribbon bow made by the talented craftsmen at Shoe Artistry. A social enterprise based on Ming Kee Shoes – a bespoke shoe shop formerly in Jordan that closed due to high rents – Shoe Artistry’s handmade beauties feature the sort of quality craftsmanship mass-produced footwear just can’t match. It also offers apprenticeship programmes and workshops for those looking to learn basic shoemaking skills – but get in quick as these are fully booked until July. Wait, did I say one pair? Shoe Artistry also makes sandals, heels, boots and Oxfords. Vanessa Yung, Reporter, Culture
