About Me
- Name: Stéphane
- Location: sud de la France, France
Stéphane Bucco, the graphic artist, internationally renowned as Sockho, has created STRING REPUBLIC in 2004 to illustrate what happens when graphic arts and daily life merge. After renowned exhibitions and collaborations, Stéphane wants to find new Material supports of creation. Like the designers of the 50’s, STRING REPUBLIC wants to enhance products and make them more beautiful. And Stéphane likes to quote Raymond Loewy who said that “ugly things sell badly”. Nowadays... useful things sell badly. The amazing revival of the flip flops and the clogs remind him of the espadrilles his grand-father used to offer him every summer when he was a kid. The concept is born; see an old product like the espadrille differently! The espadrille is given as an anachronistic material support to 12 of the greatest international grafic artists, who evolve in very different aesthetic universes. In order to keep the genuine value of the product, STRING REPUBLIC’s espadrilles are made in one of the last 4 French factories. The good old know-how of a family-company of South-Western France together with the new creations of young grafic artists.

Salut,
Je trouve les espadrilles super chouette! J'aurais voulu savoir les prices et peut être s'il existe d'autres modèles, des fringues, des sacs enfin tout quoi? Merci d'avance
What a wonderful line of shoes. I imagine you will receive a lot of interest after yesterdays NYTimes piece. Unfortunately it is impossible to order. I already had an account with paypal but forgot the password I put in many months ago. To retrieve this password has proved to be impossible through their directions. Therefor it is impossible for me to order anything from you. Is there possibly any way to order and pay for your shoes other than paypal? I would anticipate many more orders after my friends see me wear the shoes. I will really be disappointed if there is no other way to order them.
Sincerely'
Radie Nedlin
