Deciding what style of custom sandals to get made for yourself is the tough part. But I do love helping you choose.

A little over a month ago (where in the hee haw has time gone ?!) we hosted round two of our annual Summer Market 🌻✨🌽🍉🌭❤️

@wecanchime captured the affair *so* beautifully on film. We've been absolutely basking in their golden glimmering warmth, making us wish summer weren't already at end.

These markets have become the tippy top highlights of our years. All us on team Coucou can hardly sleep for excitement the night before "all our best friends come to hang out." We can't wait for Holiday Market 2026 !!! 🥲🎁🎄

National Farmers Market Week starts today, so we want to take a moment to share our appreciation for the many wonderful folks at our local farmers markets. Each week we have the pleasure of seeing 100+ vendors across no fewer than three markets (and there are more in the area!). These folks have become our friends, collaborators, clients, and so much more. It’s pretty special when you have the opportunity to share your appreciation for someone’s hard work and craft face to face, and it’s something we don’t take for granted.

So thank you to our farmers, artists, snack makers, chefs, flower growers, picklers, lavender and honey aficionados, candle makers, potters, print designers, bakers, jewelry makers, cheesemakers, and more. And to the organizers who make the markets happen. You broaden our horizons and bring new flavors to our palettes. We appreciate you every week, and especially this week. ❤️🧑‍🌾

This list is by no means exhaustive, but we wanted to give a shout out to some of the many hardworking vendors we’re fortunate enough to call our friends. Wherever you are there’s probably a farmers market, and we highly recommend checking it out. You’re bound to find something you like, and possibly a whole lot more!

A few months ago we featured local artisans at work in our Chime Studio Maker Mondays series. Now we’re back to showcase some of the finished products! We got to take you behind the scenes as Jess of @madebyhaptic crafted a one-of-a-kind pair of sandals for Erin, and when they were ready the first thing we did was photograph them in the studio.

Jess’s beautiful attention to detail comes through in every way, and the black leather lent itself to some fun, dramatic lighting. If you want to see just how much skill and hard work goes into making these sandals, you can take a look back at our earlier post about Made by Haptic.

Each of the sandals I make are cobbled by hand, favorite step of mine. I use solid brass clinching nails or ‘tacs’ to hold the top and bottom soles together. This practice of cobbling, was one I learned from my mentor, Barbara Shaum.

She hated planned obsolescence and designed her collection of sandals, that I still make today, so they could be pulled apart and resoled; So that her investment was your investment; So that you could wear one pair of sandals for most of your life.

DM or email haptic.corp@gmail.com to see the lookbook of styles and start your custom sandal order.

Shoutout to @wecanchime for the fab photos!

As a follow-up to our Chime Studio Maker Mondays series, and because March is Women’s History Month, we thought we would focus this month’s newsletter on three female craftspeople who were gracious enough to invite us into their studios: @emilyruthprints, @ranimorrisdesigns, and @madebyhaptic. You can find the newsletter link in our bio, and read more in our latest blog post.

The common thread between these amazing artists is that we met each of them at a different local market, two of which were organized by other clients of ours. This is probably our favorite aspect of running a small business; working together means investing in each other’s wellbeing and success, and maybe even forming friendships along the way.
