KARAKTOR
The world needs MORE TALENT, LESS EGO. The wish to build a brand that stands for value driven progress that inspires, created KARAKTOR. KAR refers to Karma. The cosmic law of cause and effect. Your intentions and actions affect the manifestation of your future. AKTOR simply stands for the one taking action while mindful of karma. You are the key to your happiness. Do not stand in your own way. The inspiration came from the designer’s feelings and unique style expression as an aspiring actor in Hollywood. Not all glam, yet a journey of exploration into the unknown that he describes as often scary and lonely. When the opportunity came along to design high quality footwear made by the shoe fashion experts of the world, Bartholomeus did not hesitate to create footwear that carries the KARAKTOR mission to INSPIRE and EMPOWER YOU and by wearing, OTHERS in turn. People choosing the KARAKTOR style advocate acting with pure intention, spreading more awareness, peace and love for all and ultimately manifesting a CONNECTED UNIVERSE. Start walking your life in KARAKTOR and grab your chance to STAND OUT while taking a stand. Each time you put on your pair, the shoe tongues will remind you that YOUR ONLY LIMIT IS YOU!
