Diamond Dream Jewelry and Apparel to host Sandal Making Workshop with Brooklyn Shoe Space

Just in time for the summer sandal season, Diamond Dream Jewelry and Apparel will host a sandal making workshop with Brooklyn Shoe Space on Thursday, June 16 from 5 p.m. – 9 p.m. at its showroom in downtown Bernardsville. The event is part of an ongoing lifestyle education series offered by the fine jeweler and upscale apparel store that recently marked its 30th anniversary.

Diamond Dream will be transformed into a shoemaker’s studio where participants will create beautiful seasonal footwear with the help of master shoemakers from Brooklyn Shoe Space. Shoe options will include strappy sandals on a leather sole, classic espadrilles or sandal-style espadrilles. All materials will be provided and sandals will be ready to wear out the door at the conclusion of the workshop.

“Shoemaking is largely automated these days, but this is a unique opportunity for women to unleash their inner fashionistas by designing and creating their own custom sandals,” said Diamond Dream Co-owner, Faina Shapiro. “Not only are these sandals of the highest quality, they will also be a true reflection of each woman’s personal style.”

Brooklyn Shoe Space, a Williamsburg-based shoe making studio, will bring a variety of materials including a range of leathers in black, brown and tan, in addition to a selection of prints, colors and textures. No prior shoemaking experience is necessary.

Lite bites and beverages will be served. Space is limited. Reservations are $300 per person for one pair of sandals and participants should provide shoe size and the sandal type they wish to create. Space is limited. Reservations can be made by calling 908-766-4700.

Diamond Dream Jewelry and Apparel is located at 12 Mine Brook Road in Bernardsville. For more information, please visit, http://www.diamonddreamjewelers.com/blog.
