Witness a Fading Art: The Last Shoemaker of Curaçao👞🪡

In the heart of the Rio Canario neighborhood, nestled in a humble wooden shack, a quiet master keeps an essential piece of Curaçao's heritage alive. He's one of the island's last "fishis"—a true artisan preserving the vanishing craft of shoe repair.

Step back in time and watch as this dedicated craftsman, with skillful hands and time-honored techniques, breathes new life into worn-out shoes. It's a testament to tradition, resilience, and the beauty of handmade artistry.
