Jan Jansen (May, 6 1941 - Nijmegen, Nederland) started his career in Rome at Bruno Ferrarese's boutique "Follie". Back to Amsterdam in 1964, he opened his own shop called "Jeannot"; ten years later he had already a museum show under his belt (1969), a contract with Madrid Shoes (a cartel of 15 Spanish footwear companies) and a deal with two Italian shoemakers, Gaby (from Alseno, Piacenza) and Ital Shoes (from Certaldo, Florence).

The bamboo and rattan sandal featured here was designed with the help of Ital Shoes' owner Raffaello Galgani.

The renowed Dutch And Leather Shoe Museum probably hosts the biggest Jan Jansen collection, besides Jansen himself - and the Banboo And Rattan sandal is part of it. In addition, the museum managed to bust one of the usual suspects doing their thing (below).
