Client Spotlights Featuring John Fluevog Shoes

Like so many of you, we are watching our local butcher, independent grocer, garden shop and others make adjustments to continue to safely serve our community.  We are only too happy to support them - ordering online and having items dropped in the trunk of our cars - recognizing the holes that will exist if these businesses are forced to close.  Many of the owners and staff, while not friends, are friendly acquaintances - you recognize each other and say hello when you pass on the street, and they know the name of your dog.  

Edgewater Studio’s “neighbourhood” is both local in North Vancouver, and, because of our long-term online presence, North America-wide.  In the spirit of supporting other businesses, we are undertaking our own “mini-series”, profiling some of the talented design clients with whom we have the pleasure to work. 

Episode 1:  John Fluevog Shoes
​
This episode is especially topical on a few fronts. 

John Fluevog began his shoe design business in Vancouver and now has boutique locations elsewhere in Canada, the US, Europe and Australia.  His fabulous footwear is worn by “regular folk” with a fashion aesthetic that leans towards fun and colourful (think anti-basic black pump) as well as fashionistas and celebrities.  This week, British Columbia’s Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, our now-famous voice of calm and reason (see this New York Times article) and face of all of our much-appreciated health care workers, donned a pair of snazzy new John Fluevog shoes during a daily press conference.  She has been a fan for some time.  The Fluevog team is naming the shoe “The Dr. Henry”.  Nice to have a fun story about a local business in the midst of all this uncertainty. 

By the way, if you are not familiar with John Fluevog – the person and the company - we highly encourage you to visit their website, which is not only entertaining but demonstrates a commitment to the community and to supporting up-and-coming artists.

Men’s and women’s shoes and accessories can be purchased online and shipping is free.
