As from tomorrow September 11th the new shoe line of Roswitha van Rijn
is sold exclusively at the Bijenkorf department store in The Hague. Together
with an exhibition of Roswitha van Rijn’s previous work the Bijenkorf
celebrates the opening of its new shoe department.

The new Roswitha van Rijn collection is produced in limited edition
and consist of four new models; two platform designs and two boot designs,
made exclusively for the Bijenkorf. As is Roswitha van Rijn’s trademark of
working from the material, all the shoes are handmade by a small crafts
atelier in Italy using only the best materials. The prices range from €
340,- to € 500,-. The exhibition of Van Rijn’s previous work is displayed
till September 30th, but her shoes will remain for sale.

Roswitha van Rijn designs haute couture shoes with a twist: high end
fashion combined with a socially conscious philosophy: "The beauty of the
designs is most important, but the shoes have a surplus value: the themes
and materials that I use are there to draw people’s attention to see the
wondrous beauty of all that we have in our time and of what we can preserve
if we treat it respectfully."

The shoe designs of Roswitha van Rijn are presented in the So Dutch
Fashion showroom.
