The design combines minimalist abstraction of art and geometry with the prestige of high-end fashion, and the classic of English heels. It further preserves the element of rawness in its execution manifested through the neat and delicate feel of the shoe and its overall look. The design process involved the deliberation of the three essential elements of the shoe: natural, abstract, and elegant. This required balancing the proportions of the design itself, as well as paying attention to the chosen materials in terms of texture, colors, and quality, to achieve a satisfying appeal of aesthetics.

Aielle is a slow fashion footwear brand. Designed and hand-crafted in Istanbul. Slow fashion is a response to mass production, which results in lower quality, often banal trends, and damage to nature (imagine all that synthetic waste). Aielle promotes healthy consumerism using sustainable materials. All products are Handmade in limited quantities and superior quality control. Healthy consumerism, however, is often out of reach. Hefty prices counteract the purpose. We believe slow fashion should be more affordable for the message of sustainability to truly spread. Hence we aspire to offer the exclusive feel of luxury dedicated to a larger audience of those sharing our beliefs. With Slow Fashion production, we look forward to creating bonds with our costumers. We aspire that our products are simply means to a greater end, and that this is just a start of a beautiful friendship.
