Chic Recycled Shoes

PleaseMachine Style Lab Creates Footwear Out of Junked Textile

The Budapest-based Pleasemachine Style Lab’s footwear collection helps you express your fashion-forward, environment-conscious ego.

The Pleasemachine creations are from old, junked (sometimes vintage) clothes gathered from the streets of Budapest and from second-hand stores. The clothes are then remanufactured for walking by designer Anna Zaboeva.

The ever-growing Pleasemachine collection consists of funky, colorful and unique footwear for men and women craving to stand out from the crowd. Pleasemachine proposes beautiful retro ballerinas, absolutely unique neo-dandy half shoes, sexy romantic sandals, peep-toes, grungy boots and laceups.

In the Budapest store of Pleasemachine you may find all the creations with a detailed, hand-typed explanation of their components, origins and recycled material percentage.

The Pleasemachine items, just like the source vintage textile, are usually limited edition, so you can walk the walk without ever worrying to see someone else in your shoes.
