Levi expressed his excitement about participating in his inaugural footwear exhibition in Vietnam during an interview with Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper at the opening ceremony of the event on Wednesday.
I present to you a collection of footwear that is a testament to the elegance and charm found in everyday life.
In my perspective on art, I believe that every creation has the potential to be both distinctive and eye-catching, while also embracing simplicity.
“By carefully combining simple elements, one can elevate the ordinary and create something extraordinary.”
Levi finds inspiration in various sources such as tools, equipment, furniture, musical instruments, and animals, as per his statement.
We proudly offer a collection of Levi’s shoes that are meticulously crafted from genuine leather, ensuring that every pair is unique and truly exceptional.
