Vintage & Classics

Shoe styles often date back to the classics, the Derby, Blucher , Oxford & Chelsea to name a few. Here are some retro works from my portfolio..ENDURING STYLE made from hand selected components - intrinsic comfort of natural materials

INDIVIDUALITY did you have a dream and that dream was a pair of shoes made just for you?

CUSTOM FIT because feet are all devilishly different in shape and size and comfort is a priority

SUSTAINABILITY good quality natural components, that can be repaired & replaced

LOCALLY MADE support NZ made & reduce those carbon footprints

Prices from $650 to $850 for shoes

and from $750 to $1250 for boots

Pricing depends on complexity of style,

adjustments to lasts for shape or pattern

e.g. extra wide girth, high arch or deep toe

unusual sizes can be catered for and there are various leather & sole options available
