Standing out from the crowd is hard because brands are very fashionable these days. People buy things from the same brands, and in the end it turns out that everyone around is the same. To prevent this from happening, there is a creative approach, and its name is handmade.
No, in this post we do not urge you to sculpt ribbons and buttons on clothes, and do everything yourself. There are people who can do it for us. The American company Cocopunkz is, in fact, a duo of two talented designers, fashion designers and artists all rolled into one.
“Cocopunkz is a union of two people who love footwear, art and a flamboyant style that always stands out from the crowd. We never repeat, let alone completely duplicate styles, and we certainly don't use templates and stamps. Everything you see is hand-drawn with love, because we have set a very high bar for ourselves. We do not flaunt our shoes until they feel perfect to both of us. Therefore, we hope that you love our shoes as much as we do."
Designers have really found their craft, and it is worth saying, they succeed with a bang. Yes, someone probably will not like the very idea of painting shoes by hand, but this has its own plus - you will not see the second identical pair in anyone's hands. It is worth mentioning about orders, this is what the designers write:
“If you see a pair of shoes that you like, but the size doesn’t fit, write to us and we will make the shoes to order. But keep in mind that the style will not be completely duplicated, as we remind you that we are talking about manual work. At the same time, you can order from us both the colors and patterns you want to see on the shoes - just write to us!"

Why "hand-to-hand" at all times was the "superweapon" of Russian soldiers, and How it helped them out in the most desperate situations
The words of the commander Suvorov: "A bullet is a fool, and a bayonet is a fine fellow", did not lose their urgency during the Patriotic War of 1942. The powerful "superweapon" of the Russians called "hand-to-hand combat" more than once helped the Red Army to defeat enemies, despite the numerical superiority of the latter. The skill of using melee weapons, plus the moral strength of the soldiers, made them deadly opponents in close combat both at the end of the 18th century and in the middle of the 20th century
What things in Russia could not be passed from hand to hand, and what are these superstitions connected with?
In old Russia, it was not recommended to pick up some objects or pass them on to other people. It was believed that otherwise you can attract trouble both to yourself and to others.
