Victoria Spruce is my new favourite footwear designer. Hands down.
Victoria studied footwear at Cordwainers College and did her Masters at Royal College of Art. This is why I NEED to get my arse to Londontown. The work that comes out of that city is insane.
Excuse me while I pick up my jaw off the floor.

It’s been a month since I’ve relocated west and I’m still not quite sure if Vancouver and I get along. Granted, British Columbia is indeed beautiful — there’s an abundance of inspiration to be had in the scenery alone. But I’m a city girl, goshdarnit! And I prefer busy streets, bustle and action.
Nevertheless, it was a no-brainer for me to move. I was offered an opportunity at a Canadian-based footwear company and I knew from the start that I couldn’t pass up a chance to learn the ropes. Knowledge is power. And knowledge will def be the catalyst that will help me achieve my dream. So I swiftly up and left. Typical me.
I am not sure how long I will be here for, since I still have a plethora of tricks up my sleeve. My plan of attack: I will travel, learn and gain experience while I simultaneously work to establish myself as the successful, creative, independent designer I will be. Up next: London, Milan, Paris or Tokyo? I haven’t decided yet, but I will let you know when I do……
Life. Is. Grand.

Interesting.
