Let artists adorn your pair of Toms
Hawaii artists Nicole Naone, Mandy Garcia and Takumi10 will lend their talents to a Toms shoes event at T&C Surf Ala Moana Center from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Customers who purchase a pair of Toms canvas slip-ons can get them customized free by one of the artists on the spot. (Customers who previously purchased a pair of Toms from T&C Surf can also get theirs customized at no cost.)
To find out more about the artists’ work, visit their respective websites: www.nicolenaone.com, www.mandygarcia.com and goo.gl/7fypx.
The event is part of Toms’ "One for One" national outreach campaign. The Santa Monica, Calif.-based company was founded in 2006 by Blake Mycoskie, whose philosophy is to give one pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair of shoes sold. The shoes are modeled after the Argentine alpargata, similar to espadrilles.
