We believe the truly stylish do not need to conform to the “normal.”
Our style is timeless and memorable
BROOKLYN, NY, December 14, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ — “I fell in love with the hand feel of a sewing technique called “hand smocking” while I was living in Italy and I wanted to use it to make shoes,” says Bryan Pettus, founder of B. Pettus: The Collection. “When I arrived back to the states, I continued to research the technique and decided to write a U.S. patent to use the technique on footwear.” We use high quality materials made with our unique hand smocking technique and combine it with modern footwear manufacturing to produce timeless designs. This decorative stitching technique gathers material to make it hang in folds. The result is an elegant pattern of soft, puffed and folded ridges that stands as a hallmark for the brand. “I also drew influence from a story I read while in Italy about an old-school opera singer who died during World War II. She died trying to retrieve her jewels from her home after leaving the safety of a bomb shelter.”
Our footwear technicians are experienced in the luxury footwear market and pride themselves on craftsmanship. For our high-quality footwear, we have chosen to use memory foam socks in all of the styles to provide personalized comfort that molds to your feet.
Other features include:
• Leather lining
• Leather outsoles
• Handmade Embroidery
