Shoe love is true love.
Hello to you all shoe lovers, my name is Milena (Milenika) and I am crazy about the shoes.
To keep it simple, this is a short story about Milenika shoes.
It all started many years ago, when I was sitting underneath my mother’s desk with the pencil (I was seating there because there was an extra box of printing paper on which I adored to draw a shoes). Then one day my mum said that is time to come up and use a table for drawing and bring shoes to life.
And then many years latter, just at the end of studies (footwear design) I was still making them on the paper, and from the paper insted making a true good looking shoes with all qualities, so finaly time had come to make a dream come tru with my parthner (Dusan Franc). In the beginning the biggest encouragement we got was: ’’ Don’t bother it is hard work and no one will buy it (yeah right) or even’’don’t get disappointed when you don’t make it’’ but somehow this already sound like a good start (strange but true) and 2013 we started with first shoes.
Milenika shoes was a fresh breeze to our local community and from the encouragements and comments’’who’s gonna wear that?’’ everything turned to ’’ we want more!!! this is awsam’’ and this is how Milenika shoes spread in super speed from local community to the regional countries and EU and rest of the world like a storm. Exhibitions came, fashion shows, collaborations, magazines … because the shoes were with the signature, truly unique and still special.
Yours Milenika
P.S. When you find the shoes that fits, buy them in every colours!
