TABUBA PRODUCT

Tabuba is an accessory intended for men’s feet. It is a town shoe, positioned as upscale and open on the heel, inspired from Moroccan slippers. Tabuba are worn over bare feet. Their elegant shape and design set Tabuba apart from its distant cousins like oriental slippers, sandals, flip-flops and all footwear generally worn in summer.
All of the elements used in making a Tabuba shoe are of “premium quality”, whether it is the leather, the leather sole, the finish or the print featured on the leather.

One of Tabuba’s distinctive features is that the motifs are different according to whether it is the left or right foot, which brings about a duality that is high in symbolism.

The Tabuba range includes four shoe shape models: Pointed, round, semi-square and square. All Tabuba models are trademarked and protected by copyright.

In fact, no other shoe product resembles Tabuba, who is creating its very own market.

 A STORY

Tabuba is the tale of a great journey blending the cultures of the world and telling the story of men from all continents. Tabuba is a day-to-day story inspired by the great diversity found among living beings and seen throughout the world. Tabuba shoes tell of world stories through an original, artistic approach that everyone can understand.

Tabuba challenges the standard view of men’s shoes and offers a highly colourful and shapely alternative!  

A BRAND

Tabuba evokes something new. The brand reverberates with connotations hailing from elsewhere, from a new conception. It is a global brand, taking root in all the world’s major cities. Tabuba brings an end to Taboos… it is in a way the uninhibited shoe for modern men. Tabuba undresses men’s feet to delicately clothe them with elegance, art, humour and life!

Beyond the brand: the generic name of a new shoe industry segment

We have had Tod’s, Vans, Crocks… now we have Tabubas, the urban foot accessory, the open-heel town shoe, all elegant and stripped nonchalance.

 Tabuba shoes are undoubtedly inspired by high standard quality, but their difference comes from their comfort, the manufacturing quality, the hides, the soles, the shape and the design. Tabuba is Tabuba.

Tabuba is intent on becoming the generic name of a new type of shoe.

A TEAM COMPRISING TOP SPECIALISTS

Tabuba has hired the best specialists on the market.

Leather: Tabubas are manufactured using a selection of the finest and best-quality calf hide, up to standards that are comparable to those in effect for a brand such as Louis Vuitton.

Manufacturing: Tabubas are manufactured in a modern factory that also makes town shoes of international renown.  

Silkscreen: Tabuba enjoys the know-how of an internationally-acclaimed craftsman, acknowledged as the best silkscreen printer for outstanding quality work! This partner printer also works for prestigious international fashion brands.

Art Director: Marc Jakobiec. Tabuba’s Art Director also works for a major fashion label. His experience in fashion, his know-how in terms of artistic approach and his perspective on fashion trends provide Tabuba with all the ambition of a major brand in the making: specifically, to become the leading, generic brand in summer shoes for men, as early as the 2010 season in the world’s major capitals.

Models and designs creator : Antoine Bonnel. Having come from the world of business and the world of art, he combines both a business attitude and an artistic approach. He says that there is life and there is the Great Life, and that between the two, he has chosen. His career to date demonstrates that choice: following a stint in the music business as the impresario of a major opera singer, he founded a trade show in 2004 that was a meeting place for various religious communities. An idealist, he looks at the world not as it is, but as it could be. He discovered painting art during a lengthy stay in Zanzibar, and began making oil paintings, sketching the people and landscapes he would come across as he travelled the world, also noting down his impressions in his travel diaries.
