NewbarK presents ‘Made in Los Angeles’, an original short film directed by artist and emerging director Eric Ernest Johnson, Creative Director Maryam Malakpour and produced by Grammy Award Winner Margaret Yen.
The film captures the masterful production process at the artisan NewbarK Los Angeles factory with stunning visuals of factory craftsmen in the shoe making process as well as mesmerising landscape visuals of the city set to music by Dan Deacon.
NewbarK was launched in 2009, by the stylist sister duo - Maryam and Marjan Malakpour.The LA-based luxury brand is best known for elegant, minimalistic, comfortable shoes and handbags. All Newbark products are handmade in Los Angeles, California.
The name NewbarK comes from the saying “My dogs are barking” which means my feet are in pain! The debut collection was a single item - a simple pair of foldable leather shoes that fit into a small carrying pouch. They are a stylish alternative to ballet flats and a perfect item to carry anywhere. They have been described as “Moroccan Babouche meets English gentleman’s slippers”.
NewbarK’s collections have since evolved into a complete range of flats, boots and accessories that continue to capture the function and style that the brand’s cult following so adore.
