Hungarian designer Sara Gulyas has come up with the innovative “Pikkpack” sandal, a DIY kit that allows you to play your part in creating a stylish sandal inspired by traditional Hungarian shoemaking.
Gulyas’ product draws upon the traditional Hungarian “bocskor” shoe, which is made up of a single piece of leather and stitching. Her contemporary take on the shoe features colourful criss-cross straps and comes in a DIY pack that allows you to stitch the material together.
“Pikkpack” was originally the Hungarian designer’s thesis project, becoming a flourishing fashion startup after a successful crowdfunding campaign.
More information on the project can be found here.
