Please Disturb

Unisex sneaker brand HOTELMOTEL explores the duality between exclusive luxury and inclusive humanness. We create in a space where craftsmanship meets innovation, rawness meets perfection and seriousness meets playfulness. Our contradictory motto, PLEASE DISTURB, politely invites you to join us in our quest to disrupt the fashion industry in favour of a slower alternative.

Slow Fashion

Each piece we make is handcrafted with TLC using our own hands. We source our raw materials with great care, finding the finest and most ethical leathers and components, predominantly in France and Italy. We design and make unisex leather sneakers, handbags and wallets, each conceived for day-to-day wear, whether dressed up for the gala or dressed down for a stroll in the park. Best part is, over time they will mould to your feet and to your body, becoming an extremely comfortable extension of you.

Art Factor

We believe that handmade shoes are pieces of art.  We collaborates with artists, designers and fellow crafters to create, to inspire and to bring talents together. Every collaboration is unique and results in a limited edition or a one of a kind masterpiece. We document every one of them in our blog. You can discover our latest collaboration with the multidisciplinary tattoo artist Fanny-Jane here.

Customization

Looking for something unique? We can make it happen.

We are a small workshop and we do all the production ourselves, which gives us a great advantage that we can make to order. This is not made to measure since we do not have all the equipment on hand and all the patterns have to be touched up so the prices would be much higher. What we offer you is the ability to choose the colour of the leather, soles, laces and threads from what we have in stock. If you like a style, but can't see your dream colour or would like a two-tone style, we can do that for you! We will than add your project to our next production batch.
