Cordwainer Leanne Corcoran, owner & operator of Leolo Handmade Shoes & Leather Goods, reflects on her design catalog: 

"You can see they have a little more character. I had a T-Mobile executive that I made a pair of T-Mobile pink Oxfords for. Those were great. I had a person who worked for the Husky football team who I made a golden purple pair of wingtips for, was also great. Then, I had a young woman who wanted a pair of good luck shoes for a job interview. We made her a fuchsia pink and Oxblood pair of wingtips and she had a suit made to match. I was nervous. I'm going to be really honest. The color combination made me very nervous, but they turned out beautifully, and she got the job! I'm glad it worked. She got the job!"

Madinah In The Market originally aired as a radio-first editorial series, produced as recorded field pieces inside Pike Place Market. These archived episodes reflect the program’s foundational approach, created before its transition to a multi-platform show.
