Labba Soos by Lou

I called my line of footwear "Labba Soos by Lou" because many of our Elders who were just learning the English language described runners as 'rubber shoes'. Our language of Kwakwala does not have the letter 'r' and also does not have the sound made with 'sh' - so 'rubber' becomes 'labba' and 'shoes' becomes 'soos'. There you have it! Labba Soos by Lou.
