I assume IJF that you are a retailer. Im not familiar with your store, your market or what styles you chose, and yes there are some styles that have an aquired taste but the fact remains that sales in the 100's of thousands in europe and an award of shoe of the year from Sportswear International has more weight than your presumptuous recommendation. Kowalski are expensive but you get what you pay for- unique quality hand made leather shoes. The manufacturer also makes diesel style lab and shoes for Prada and birkenstock so they are obviously doing something right.

Hi

Kowalski Shoes are just starting break into the US market despite some presence in Nordstroms (ladies only) for two seasons. It is likely that Nordstroms will take on the mens range in Feb 2006 and expand it's ladies collection. Kowalski shoes have made it in the doors of some NYC boutiques but at the very moment i don't know who would have stock. The 05 range can be seen at www.kowalskishoes.com and the 06 range will be online shortly.

Cheers
