2568 was founded by longtime partners and shoe designers, Lorenzo Castellon and Jamie Lawenda. Inspired by their extensive research into the perfect place to source footwear, the couple created this inexpensive, chic line that is ethically hand-loomed by women in Guatemala. The goal for Jamie and Lorenzo was to develop a friendly trade relationship with the United States, and the pair settled on producing in Guatemala after a friend from Spain introduced them to the area. Machines were soon brought over from Spain to create their own factory and contracts were drafted to work with artisanal weavers and additional local craftspeople in the area. 2568 was established as a family affair when the couples’ son, Nick, a student at the Art Institute of Chicago, designed 2568’s unique logo, which is modeled after a shoe last, a mold used to help manufacture the fit of a shoe. The brand has added two very talented designers and has established several new items you will see in every season. Coming soon is www.2568Shoes.com
