The Office of Angela Scott
14 years ago by
If you ever go to Dallas, you have to go visit Angela Scott. First of all because she’s lovely, but also because she has a boutique you could lose hours in.
Angela created her own shoe brand and there isn’t much in her studio that isn’t attended to with real passion.
Every shoe is made by hand, stitched by hand, painted by hand, in a way that they really don’t do any more, so much so that she had to go all the way across the world, to Japan, to find the artisans with the right skills.
I really love how much heart she puts into everything she does. Her boutique just opened and is super pretty. Even the smallest details are cared for, everything from the packaging to the personal note she writes to each of her clients.
I thought it would be good to talk about a designer as independent as Angela after my post about mass-produced Zara.
Big hugs to you all!

Wow these shoes are absolutely divine! I think attention to detail is extremely important when you start in this business, we try to include a hand-written note in all our orders because customers love it, and it’s great to be able to give a slightly more personalised service while you can still do it!

Very pretty shoes with outstanding craftsmanship! They remind me of my favorite Elsa shoes, from Antwerp, with the shiny & matte leather appliques and classic details. So precious!
Ces créations ont l’air super jolies! J’adore

Je partage la même passion pour les miroirs de formes, les miens sont posé dans mon salon en attendant de trouver un mur pour les accueillir.
Ses chaussures ont des détails tellement pointus, j’aime!
J’adore les détails… Tous ces petits détails raffinés, élégants qui font que l’on craque forcément ! :D
Juste un mot : SUBLIME !

A little too pricey for me, but I do like Mrs. Smith and Ms. Wright (in chestnut… No, in coral. I want them all!!)
Quelle bonne idée que de nous parler de créateur-artisan!!! On veut un portrait complet: les artisans japonais, les ateliers, les sources d’inspirations, les matières premières… Merci! et bonnes relevailles de Frankenstorm!!! Au Québec, la tempête nous a touché en vent et en ciel tourmenté!!!
This shoes are gorgeous))))Thank you for sharing and hugs from Ukraine)

Oh Garance – what are you doing to me? :-) I don’t know whether to be in eternal gratitude or worry about my future finances…. First the post on the porselli pump…. after much searching I found a UK distributor and they are on their way …..now these most fabulous specimens of “feet clothing” …sigh…
Best wishes, glad you are safe post Sandy…. Louise
Wow, you can feel the quality of these shoes! Beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful! And what fun and playful (yet still totally chic) designs! And yes, I thinkit’s really important to highlight small independent designers, especially when we’re all talking about fast fashion like it’s the basis of our fashion diet. I think a balance between the two is what we should strive for, so thanks for reminding us of that!

I like the shoes in store. Angela is very sympathetic lady.

J’aurais aimé que tu fasses un article plus approfondi: Quelles méthodes a t-elle découvert au Japon? A t-elle un atelier à Dallas? Si oui, j’aurai aimé que tu fasses des photos d’elle et/ou de ses artisans en train de travailler dans son atelier. Combien de temps prend elle pour réaliser une paire de chaussures? quelles sont les différentes étapes qui font que ses chaussures soient uniques et si particulières?…Bref, une vidéo s’impose là :)
Genial, I’ve never heard of her before. Good to know, thanks for sharing.

Ah love it!
What a great picture and I love small producers who make their designs without great machines and a massive staff! Love this post!

Les mocassins sont top, j’adore, merci pour cette découverte Garance
These images make me want to hop on a plane to Dallas! Her shoes are exquisite! I love that photo with the dangling tag reading “Fucking Thank You.”
These images, these shoes and her boutique all exude personality.

Yes it’s always refreshing to see something done with so much passion, and the person who did it as well! Those shoes are more than just breathtaking, truly a work of a craftsman
definitely gonna try to visit her if I go to Dallas!

Love! Love love love!
I’m a fan of the Miss Wright, and the Mr. and Mrs. Smith…
The level of attention paid to detail is astounding – in the product, as well as in the merchandising and online presence.

Fucking Thank You :-)
I have a pair of her brogues and can also attest to their comfort!
Waouw j’adore , ça fait très vintage , j’aime beaucoup les hautes bottines noires ! bisous !
These are articles are what we need right in a world of mass-produced fashion and dying personal style. I adore people who really care about how their goods are done and quality products. Great post this time.
There are fewer and fewer (almost no) stores that have the personal touch, imagination and artistry of Angela’s. How INspiring plus her shoes are Gorgeous!

Des chaussures en cuir rayees comme des espadrilles. Quelle bonne idee. J’aime beaucoup les beige et blanche.
Love her old-world and modern aesthetic. I want a pair of well-crafted shoes with fuchsia and red stripes.
Quelle jolie boutique et ses créations sont vraiment mignonne; Jolie découverte.

Et elle n’expédierait pas ses petits bijoux en France par hasard ??!
C’est absolument fabuleux ce que tu nous montres là, on dirait un véritable trésor sa boutique !
Magique ! Merci Garance !
Wow. She looks so creative. The shoes looks great. Nice post.

OMG! Amazing shoes, this why I love your blog, you are always introducing me virtually to fantastic people. Thank you!
OMG I am officially obsessed!! How come she is not world famous by now?? Those shoes are seriously beautiful and stunning and cool and and and….ahhhhhhhh!
Thanks for introducing her.
This post made my Friday! i love Angie! She is so talented & fun!
My personal favorite is the Mr. Seymour!
SO happy you were able to meet her during your visit to Dallas!!!
J’étais sur ton Pinterest, puis j’ai divagué au fur et a mesure des images… je suis tombée sur des images de tatouage, parce que je trouve ça vraiment joli (quand c’est bien fait et bien choisi)
ET je me suis demandée si tu avais un avis sur le sujet…? :)
These shoes look amazing, as is your photography. WOW!!
Great piece of shoes!
Don’t know if you can call a shoe deeelishious…but there you are…and what a stylish place in all. Just lovely…so Fucking Thanks Garance:)
Lovely shoes!
I especially like the Mrs Smith and the Miss Mason – they lookhugh quality andalso comfortable!
Thanks for introducing them!
I must say that in Elda and Elche, Spain –within others, there still exist shoe artisans. You only need to search ;)
Sometimes we don’t notice what we have SO close and go in the search of something far far away -and maybe exotic?
I like so much little boutiques where you can find a little of almost everything. I love the warm atmosphere she´s created (including her “fucking thank you”… ha…ha…).
Those pink heels are so cute!

Moi qui suis fan de chaussures, alors là, alors là….je reste bouche
bée. Elles sont trop belles, ce serait top de pouvoir les trouver
sur le net.
Une pensée pour tous suite à l’ouragan
Wwoooww the boutique is very nice.

I love this passion for creativity, when you pursue your dreams through your work you can achieve anything. This is very close to my heart. Good luck to Angela! Great story Garance!

Joli coup de coeur
Un lieu à retenir, ça m’a l’air fantastique :)

J’aime!! Belles chaussures!
Tout simplement magnifique. Authentics créations.
J’aime beaucoup ses chaussures, on voit la finesse de son travail! Franchement, chapeau.

La boutique a l’air magnifique et les chaussures divines! :)
Chapeau pour ce beau projet j’admire beaucoup ce travail et le fait que ce ne soit pas produit en masse en Chine par exemple… (même si je ne pourrais pas me permettre d’acheter une de ces magnifiques paires de chaussures)
Malheureusement, on nous laisse plus le choix maintenant… tout est estampillé “made in China, Indonesia…” et qu’on le veuille ou non, on participe à l’exploitation d’êtres humais…
Bref, félicitation Angela :)
