ELĪNA DOBELE
Author: Anothertravelguide.com0 COMMENTS

ELĪNA DOBELE is footwear with personality. Offering contemporary and truly innovative design, the luxury shoes are handmade on site in the Riga atelier. ELĪNA DOBELE is, for now, the only original shoe brand in the Baltics. Created in 2008 during an economic recession in Latvia, this initiative has grown into one of the most recognized footwear labels on the Latvian design scene, and has expanded with sales points in Europe and Asia. ELĪNA DOBELE's creator Elīna Dobele is a practising architect. Her innate understanding of construction, form, material compatibility and the importance of design in the creation of functional and aesthetic housing can also be found in her footwear. One of ELĪNA DOBELE's fundamental principles is a strict balance between design and comfort - this is not footwear that flirts with fashion, but one that embodies the spirit of today, giving a certain spring and confidence to one's step.
