I first noticed Corgi when i walked around Publika some time last year. Me, with my innate talent to spend money, wandered in and really liked what i saw – a Malaysian brand selling their own label of leather shoes, along with accessories and apparel. I was in a bit of a rush that day, but still managed to nab some presents for a friend (and myself). When i wore these heart-shaped earrings out, i got compliments from Steph and the other girls. They were so cute! I couldn’t resist. (The earrings i mean. But my friends are cute too :p)

Then just last week, i got an invite to a small exhibition they were having. I don’t know anyone who works there… nor the owners. But i was really curious and wanted to support the label cos i have a lot of respect for fashion businesses in KL who try to make it. It’s not easy! And besides that point – i liked what i knew of the brand so far, so i went.

The brand has really nice accessories that are made of 925 silver, Swarovski crystal, and non-allergic steel. All shoes and bags are made from composite leather, calf-skin, full-grain leather, or kidskin; and apparel is made from silk, velvet, lace, chiffon, and cotton (no pix of apparel sorry, i was more taken by the shoes).

I was told that all the shoes are made in their partner-factory based in Korea. Corgi limits the numbers of each design to a minimum of 30 pieces, and doesn’t remake any despite popularity, as to keep the shoes exclusive. The shoes focus on trend as well as comfort, and find its glory in detailed trimmings and materials.

Corgi’s founders Amanda and Han were very sweet to introduce themselves and take me thru their current season’s concept.

The usage of ordinary materials such as cling film and aluminum foil in their SS lookbook was to create an artistic concept. Even the shots themselves were intentionally blurred as to take the attention away from the shoes and for one to focus on the emotion of the image.

I posted lookbook and product shots after the jump 🙂

I left with a CD of all these images so i thought… why not just share them cos they look quite nice! >

My favourite pair from their collection is the vintage-inspired brown pair above!

Love these ribbed ones too

Ok last picture. I didn’t post them all cos… why, they have quite a lot!
