Souli and Souli - handmade for feet

Say goodbye to the Brooklyn Flea Market and hello to The Franklin Flea Indoor Market in Philadelphia. The market located in the old historic Strawbridge’s building at 8th and Market Street boasts and eclectic mix of vendors selling everything from antiques to jewelry to handmade items. We met Ali Souli of Souli & Souli who makes beautiful handmade leather shoes and boots. Ali, originally from Tunisia, explained that some of the handmade shoes are also hand painted with North African Tuareg patterns and the boots are mixed with leather and kilim rugs. Just by looking at them you can tell that they are well made comfortable.
