PIKKPACK is an easy style DIY shoe made of high quality 100% leather upper and sole. The shoes are cut from only one piece of leather and the soles are sewn by hand. PIKKPACK can be assembled by the customer with different colored cotton laces.
Sara Gulyas is a Hungarian designer with over 10 years of experience in leather design. After experimenting with footwear for a long time, she wanted to create a shoe with the minimal amount of material that would make the wearer part of the shoe making process. Her inspiration came from an old Hungarian shoe called bocskor (pronounced: “BOTCH-core” ) which was traditionally made from one piece of leather. The result is a DIY shoe called PIKKPACK (a Hungarian play on words meaning “piece of cake”).
PIKKPACK starts out as a flat piece of premium quality leather then the wearer can quickly transform it into a 3D piece of clothing by assembling the shoe with a contrasting cotton lace. By shipping these lightweight flat-packed shoes in small packages, the shoes not only encourage participation in the manufacturing process, but also conserve materials and decrease shipping costs. PIKKPACK is designed for both men and women and since it’s made of lightweight leather, it’s breathable and warm at the same time – suitable for nearly every occasion.
Sara and her team are currently preparing for a Kickstarter campaign. Please check out a short teaser video for the upcoming campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TfW6JQc9-0
