Sandals Unlimited was an unusual shop on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, unusual because the sandals were made by hand, and often made specifically for a particular customer. It came into existance shortly after World War II and was in business for about 25 years. It was in the stylish, trendy portion of Telegraph Avenue between Channing and Haste on the west side of the street. The donor so like the style of the sandals, and the quality of the workmanship, that she owned three identical pairs.
