Why people come to us.

Most clients arrive with one of these in mind.

A client in New York, in leopard-print slippers made for him — **Something no one else has.**A pair that exists once: your model, your leather, your initials.

A shoemaker closing an upper at our London factory — **Made by hand in London.**Cut, closed and finished by our own makers, at our own factory.

A master shoemaker and an apprentice studying a shoe — **A fit that finally works.**Wide, narrow, sensitive, or different left and right. We make for the feet you have.

The leathers, hanging in the factory — **Details to explore together.**A colour you have in mind, a sole for the city, a tassel just so. We work it out with you.

A client for life

The beginning of a relationship.

Once you begin with us, you are a client for life. Your shoes keep getting better, and so does the fit.

Your advisor: One person looks after you, from the first conversation to every pair after.
Your fitting record: Your 3D scan and every fitting note stay on file. We make a new last for each pair from them, so each pair fits better than the last.
Between pairs: Tell us how they wear. Together we refine the fit and the design for the next pair.
For life: Recrafting, resoling and restoration at our London factory, for every pair we make.

Technology and the hand

The scanner sees what the eye cannot. The hand does what no machine can.

Every commission begins with a 3D scan of both feet, taken in seconds. It records the shape of each foot more closely than any tape measure, and it keeps that record for every pair to come.

From your scan and every fitting note, our makers cut a new last for each pair. Then the work goes to the bench: cut, closed, lasted and finished by hand in London. The technology gives our makers a kind of superpower. The skill in their hands does the rest.

“The most technologically advanced atelier on Savile Row.”
The Times, from our years on Savile Row

How it works.

Seven steps, from a first conversation to a lifetime of pairs.
