THE MISSION
"TO MAKE THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST AND THEN MAKE THEM BETTER THAN ANYONE THOUGHT POSSIBLE.
ONE COLLECTION A YEAR. EVERY PAIR BY HAND IN ENGLAND. EVERY MATERIAL CHOSEN WITH THE SAME SERIOUSNESS AS THE SILHOUETTE IT BECOMES.
WE DO NOT MAKE SHOES FOR EVERYONE. WE MAKE THEM FOR THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE."

FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR
CHRISTOPHER DODSWORTH HAS SPENT HIS ENTIRE CAREER IN FOOTWEAR.
HE GREW UP IN THE COUNTRYSIDE, FAR FROM THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY.
THE HERITAGE RUNS DEEPER STILL. BESPOKE SHOEMAKING, GENERATIONS BACK.
HE STUDIED ART AND DESIGN. THEN FORGED HIS OWN PATH INSIDE OTHER FOOTWEAR HOUSES, GROUNDWORK FOR SOMETHING NOT YET NAMED.
THE PULL TO REVIVE THE FAMILY TRADITION RAN TOO STRONG A MOMENT THAT COULD NOT BE DENIED.
BORN IN 1812. A GREAT GRANDFATHER, A SHOE AND BOOTMAKER, THE FIRST OF THE LINE.
HIS YEAR IS OUR NAME.
