Hello my Shiny Patrons,

Last month I visited for the first time Canada and I stayed in the beautiful city of Montreal. I really enjoyed my time there in the warm summer, the many parks and the artsy feeling of the city. 

I always like to travel light, so this time I was thinking to bring only 2 pairs with me, a pair of sandals and my Dr Martens boots. However, I thought about the possibility of getting a shoe shine there and I took 2 extra pairs. 

I found Harry's shoe shine place on google maps. I was downtown Montreal so decided to bring 3 pairs with me to make videos. I had to go through a lobby in a tall corporate building. To be honest, I felt out of place, everybody there was wearing suits and looked very elegant. And there was me, with jeans and my dirty Dr Martens. I spotted Harry's shoe shine area and approached him, explained to him the project and he agreed on making a video with me. While I was setting up my camera, I took a picture of the chairs Harry designed himself. These are not the typical shoe shine chairs that we see in Mexico so they caught my attention immediately. 

Have you ever seen a chair like this? What do you think of the design?

The video with Harry is coming up this week and the unedited version will be available next month (I have around 2 hours of unedited footage).

Did you ever think there was a shoe shiner in Montreal?


Thank you so much for your support.

Have a lovely September.

Katia.
