The Magnolia wooden shoes, which Carrie Bradshaw, a.k.a. Sara Jessica Parker, wore in a Sex and the City episode, were in our collection in year 2000 through 2003.

If you want to learn how to make a pair by yourself, I have documented the whole process from pattern making to ready made shoes. Below, I have posted a step-by-step tutorial on making your own custom, leather upper for your wooden shoes.

And, if you also want to make your own wooden sole, I went to the sole factory to make a short movie about the wooden sole production process. Remember to be very careful when using knives and heavy machines such as lathe. We do not quarantee 100% success.

Of course, if you would rather skip all the work, you can pick up a perfect pair at our webshop, a red/sand model that we made to celebrate our new concept, The Broadsheet, as well as the opening of our very own Hanna Sarén webshop.
