Meet Wilfred and Enric

Wilfred and Enric is just like an art gallery, but you won’t find any Warhol or Renoir here. Instead, there’s beautifully handcrafted shoes lining the shelves.

Specialising in artisan made shoes by designers from all over the world, Vel Tasevski’s Hawksburn boutique is the go-to for women looking for hard-to-find, unique and exclusive styles.

After work in the film industry and as a photographer, Vel Tasevski’s dream was to open up her own gallery. Tasevski combined this with her passion for rare and exquisite shoes and Wilfred and Enric was born.

Expect collections by designers like Neosens (Spain), Fausto Santini (Rome), Cydwoq (USA) and local Brunswick boy, Phong Chi Lai all here. As well as Grotesque, the latest label exclusively at Wilfred and Enric from the extravagant Dutch label by Geert Slats (the man who founded Rockport).

If like Carrie, your ever-growing shoe obsession and collection, means you could literally become the old woman who lives in her shoes, Wilfred and Enric will soon become your kryptonite.

Hawksburn Village, 161 Williams Road, South Yarra,
