Hi stranger,

 

Welcome to our newsletter space. If you’re reading this, a friend has shared it with you. We are Malika Favre and George Wu, the duo behind I Can’t Afford This But Maybe She Can, a curated corner of colour, design and beautifully made things.

 

This week, we lean into our lifelong animal obsession with a Bazaar edit for the wild at heart, before diving into the story behind our favourite feline boots.

 

Have a read, and if you like what you see, you can join our community via this link.

Animals have been muses for artists and designers for centuries. Long before branding existed, the lion, the dove and the serpent were already doing the storytelling. From cave walls to cathedral carvings, heraldry to haute couture, we have worn their symbols and borrowed their swagger.

 

We are all for it. Meet our favourite feral beauties, crafted by makers and artists we love.

The Story of…the Cat Shoes returns with our favourite family of feline boots by British animator turned shoemaker Jocie Juritz. Through a series of questions about process, craft and obsession, we trace how a love project grew into a full collection.

 

As an exclusive treat, all of Jocie’s shoes are 15% off until March 10. The discount applies automatically at checkout or with code CURATEDBYMALIKA.

 

Enjoy the read!

Thank you for reading our newsletter.
