I want this!!! Black Tenorio Manila leather shoes made of eight different animal leather. Just the name itself is fierce!!! Damn you office dress code for making me lust over black leather shoes!
Actually, the pair is made up of leather cut outs -- small parts of leather that are too small to make up a solid piece of shoe. Before it became this design, the initial motivation was how to conserve leather most efficiently. The result from this activity was the 8Leather Monster -- frankensteinish if you will, but effectively ecological, nevertheless. I hope this helps.

Shushality!
esaj- With the "eight animal leather" feature of the shoes, it is an express ticket to be on PETA's No.1 Hate List. Mary Kate level!
