Olivia Rose Tal, a New York based shoe company, is one of the very few surviving shoe manufacturing comapnies in the United States. Based in Brooklyn, Dorinne Tal works with her sister to create imaginative works of art for the feet. Dorinne brillantly combines an array of fabrics rich in color from Italy and India with ornamental bows and jewels. Her fabric combinations are fashionable yet timeless.

This family endeavor has thrived in spite of the obstacles facing domestic shoe production. With expensive labor, increasing rent, and the number of skilled shoe makers waning, all odds are against creating a profitable business. Nevertheless, Dorinne has succeeded in creating a breathtaking produt that has kept this business thriving. Dorinne is a strong and ambitious woman that has combined her love of shoes with her talent of design and put it to the test in a very competitive market. Her company reflects the principles of survival in New York City.

Dorinne named her company after her two daughters, Olivia Liehe and Jordana Rose, who are first generation Americans. Not only has Dorinne fulfilled the American dream that so many seek to achieve, she revels in naming the compnay after her children.

Olivia Rose Tal shoes have been featured in a number of magazines and newspapers including Shuz, Bridal Guide, Weddings and Honeymoons, The York Post, FN, Anthropology.com and other major catalogues. "To take disparate products and to combine them to create a practical yet beautiful item excites me beyond belief" Dorinne says, "I love working together with my team of local craftsmen in Brooklyn. This is a treat few designers are allowed. Being able to design and see the final product to completion within a very short period of time is rare.

Olivia Rose Tal has a promising future. The name as well as the product will continue to be walking the streets for many years to come.
