Livie & Luca Shoes Unveil Brand New Designs & Sizes for Spring/Summer ’08

 

February 25, 2008 (Los Angeles, CA)—Just in time for spring and summer playtime, Livie & Luca has upped the cute factor with their Spring/Summer ’08 collection—think crisp green apples, pink octopi, preppy tassels, and funky patchwork designs.  The brand new sandal designs keep little feet cool and feature no-fuss Velcro closures, as well as a special inward curve to prevent stubbed toes.  From first walkers to on-the-go pre-schoolers to their brand new big kids sizes, Livie & Luca’s shoes are a fashionable and practical choice, retailing for $37.50 for sizes 4-9 and $45.50 for big kids sizes 10-12 at www.livieandluca.com.

Livie & Luca’s creations incorporate brightly colored leathers, bold designs and whimsical modern touches that capture the playful essence of childhood.  Their comfortable construction allows beginning walkers, toddlers, and pre-schoolers to navigate playgrounds, city streets, and dirt pathways with style and ease. It’s no wonder Hollywood babies including Suri Cruise, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, and Madonna’s son David are fans!
 
Other unique features of Livie & Luca shoes:

  • Individuality:  Every shoe is handmade so no two will be exactly alike, each shoemaker leaves their marking under the strap
  • Kid Comfort:  Made from the softest leather, Livie & Luca shoes are breathable and comfortable
  • Earth Friendly:  Livie & Luca takes steps to minimize their carbon footprint, using reusable cloth bags instead of shoe boxes, using recyclable leather (that would otherwise be discarded), and non-benzene glue—the safest and most environmentally friendly glue
  • Inspired by Daily Life:  Designs are inspired by children’s artwork, the designer’s day-to-day life with her children, and fresh, clean looks
  • Cutting Edge:  The soles of Livie & Luca shoes are mimicked after Astroturf, and the shoes are lightweight (less than 1/3 lb.) yet robust—and super flexible
  • Giving Back: Livie & Luca makes a practice of donating 10 percent of their proceeds to rotating charities

The February 4 issue of Footwear News covers Livie & Luca, the whimsical & classic shoe collection for active children. 

When asked about the motivation for starting their own line, “We couldn’t find any children’s footwear that was funky, original, and flexible. This was also our chance to create something around our experience as mothers,” said Mitzi Rivas, co-creator of Livie & Luca.
