Here is their story…

Osborn Hand Crafted from Osborn Design on Vimeo.

The mission at Osborn is to do good with good design. Co-founder Aaron Osborn stumbled upon the idea for Osborn in 2007 when he met an out-of-work cobbler while doing charitable work in Guatemala. He and co-founder, Carla Osborn, were searching for a way to combine humanitarian efforts with a fashion project. This search led to Osborn Shoes. That first cobbler still works with them full time, as do a small driven team of 30 gifted artisans. Nestled in the volcanic mountains outside Guatemala City, these artisans craft shoes in a manufacturing environment dedicated to integrity and quality. The materials for each shoe are individually hand-cut and assembled by hand and signed by its maker, as a testament to the sense of pride for the maker, as well as its wearer.
