2024 is proving to be a busy and exciting year so far!

For 18 months we helped sustainable brand and B Corp, https://joanieclothing.com/ to design and develop their first footwear range, which launched in January. https://joanieclothing.com/shoes.html We recruited a footwear technologist and found the factory. We then developed the lasts and heels from scratch with Springline Lasts in Northampton. We made the shoes in Leather Working Group Leathers, in an excellent factory in India. We worked in exactly the way we know is the best way, with lots of fittings and wear trialling so that we know what we will launch with is durable and comfortable.
