In September V and I took a road trip through central Mexico. One of our stops on the way back to Puerto Vallarta was the 'Mercado La Luz' in Leon. Leon is known as the shoe capital of Mexico and has markets filled with both cheap shoes and the all the materials needed to construct them. V and I spent a few hours looking through the different leathers, trims and fabrics in the many stalls and small stores found in and around the market. I ended up taking home some beautiful pig leather and a bag of studs, some of which I used for the Good Things Collection. While Leon is an ugly, inhospitable city wandering through the Zona Piel is one of my favourite things we have done down here so far...
