Technical Designer, Accessories
Technical design skills meet distinctive brand vision. Come join our Creative product team designing and developing belts, wallets, and accessories that feel as uniquely 'Fluevog' as our footwear.
John Fluevog Boots & Shoes is looking for a skilled, design-forward Technical Designer, Accessories who is excited about the idea of working with a team of multi-talented, hard-working, and hugely modest professionals to bring genuinely special handbags, small leather goods and accessories into the world.
We would love it if you have at least 5 years of experience in small leather goods design and development, and you should know your way around Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and CAD tech drawings. Experience working with suppliers and manufacturers on sampling and costing is a big asset, and a background in fashion, footwear, or lifestyle product development will feel right at home here. Most importantly, we are looking for someone with a genuine eye for quality and craft who can hold that standard through every stage of development, and who is curious and open-minded about where the accessories category could go next.
Other stuff you will be in charge of:
Developing accessories collections in alignment with seasonal creative direction
Sourcing and building relationships with suppliers and manufacturers
Managing development timelines, sample revisions, and product lifecycle tracking
Collaborating with our footwear product team, buying team, and Creative Director
Staying across trends and bringing ideas to the table as the programme grows
Think you have what it takes? Apply below with your resume, cover letter, and (most importantly) your portfolio. We would love to see work that shows your technical design chops alongside your sense of style.
We look forward to meeting you (especially you)!

About Fluevog Shoes
John Fluevog is an independent designer and retailer of forward-thinking footwear and accessories. Since 1970, John has been steadfast in creating ‘unique soles for unique souls’ that have been seen everywhere from the feet of artists like Madonna, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Jack White, to the runways of high fashion. Some of his earliest customers include The Beach Boys, Alice Cooper, filmmaker Robert Altman, and a slew of slightly less famous (but no less amazing) Fluevogers.
Traditionally made in old-world factories, Fluevog shoes are produced in small runs, are fully repairable, and—with their quality and timeless luxury—always stand out in a crowd. When you wear a pair of Fluevogs, you’re stepping into decades of traditionally crafted untraditional designs.
As you soak up the steady flow of comfort, confidence, and compliments, you’ll quickly begin to wonder what you ever did without Fluevogs on your feet. Whether it sticks in your mind as Foofarg or Vlueflag, Fluevog is a name usually mispronounced, but seldom forgotten.
