Yes, we’re closing! And remaining inventory is on sale for $70-$80 per pair thru Labor Day. . After that, I’ll donate the remainder to charity.
Last Fall gave me a copy of “The World is on Fire but We’re Still Buying Shoes”. The author ’s sentiments, on top of my own first hand challenges of how to run Babos profitably, let alone survive until it could provide myself a living wage, really got me thinking about how I want to design and work going forward. More on that later…

New color Mule Sneaker: Shadow leopard. Automatic 25% off, $150 from $200. Unique chocolate brown animal print, only a small batch made from upcycled leather.
The most comfortable and elegant babouche sneaker! Inspired by the traditional “genie” slipper, and evolved for comfort with a bouncy, treaded sneaker. An absolute joy to wear, and good for the sole.

Our Gratitude: Your automatic 25% off 🙏🏼. Restorative footbeds marked down to $9 from $15. New markdowns on Final Sale items (exempt from auto discount). Remembering to be grateful is a practice for me. Like everyone else, 2023 has been challenging. Daily gratitude lists (on paper or in my mind) exercises the pleasure sensors in our brains, and these electric messages nourish the whole body!!!

“Didn't I see you on After Party on Apple TV”? One of my customers asked me this question in a DM last week. Yes. My little secret: my side hustle as a background performer on streaming and television shows. I live in Los Angeles after all 🌴😎…. It’s unfortunate that my big debut on screen so to speak (at 15:50 of Season 2, Episode 2), airs the exact same week as the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) joins the Hollywood writers strike. Please read my new blog post, “What the SAG and writers strike mean to Babos”. Link in comments below. Thanks!
