New local designer spotlight: Ina Grau footwear

Local knitwear designer Annie Larson just drew my attention to a new local duo who are about to launch a handmade footwear line. Crystal Quinn and Luisa Fernanda Garcia Gomez started making shoes together last year under the name Ina Grau, and as Annie puts it, they're "Minnetonka Moccasin meets grown up loafer." Look for their website and e-shop to launch soon, selling limited-run designs exclusively on their site. Visit their blog to see more photos of their designs and their design process.
