Each shoe is unique thanks to this, and thanks to the use of materials – vegetable-tanned leather, cork, rubber, and bamboo shank give the footwear the coveted natural aesthetic that would blend in perfectly with The Greenwich Hotel’s Vervoordt-designed penthouse suite, with its muted, close-to-nature tones. Even if you were to take these shoes off, there’s more wabi-sabi to be found in Shibui, the Spa at The Greenwich, which boasts five treatment rooms and an Onsen, a traditional Japanese soaking bath. Shibui means a subtle and unobtrusive approach, and this peaceful retreat, made of 250-year-old-barn of Japanese dark barn timber, certainly does the trick.
