Established in 2002 on Vancouver Island B.C., Sitka (sitka.ca) is a lifestyle brand with deep roots in the west coast surfing scene. We share similar values and vision - offering quality products made authentically and sustainably… with purpose.
In the summer of 2012 we handcrafted 25 pairs of high top boat shoes for our good friends over at Sitka, offered for sale exclusively in their Vancouver, Victoria (B.C.) and Auckland (New Zealand) flagship locations.
Sitka provided us with their proprietary plaid (woven) cotton from that season, which we paired with a complimentary nubuck-like maroon cowhide to create a style of high top new to us (and exclusive to them) that fit seamlessly alongside their Fall/ Winter collection.
Love Jules Leather had handcrafted and sold just a couple dozen pairs of boat shoes when Sitka reached out in the fall of 2011 to see if we’d be interested in designing and ‘crafting a run of collaboration boat shoes, to be sold exclusively in their Victoria and Vancouver B.C. flagship stores. We said… yes.
