All our sneakers are made by hand by in the UK. Every sneaker we make is unique to you and we make every effort to meet your requirements, although we can reference previous designs, one pair will never be the same as another. Our sneaker uppers are made from upcycled materials therefore you can expect some scuffs, marks and other unique qualities on the materials. This is the beauty of the material.

Our Made to Order turn around is 8-10 weeks. If for any reason your made to order will take longer we will let you know at the time of ordering before payment.

Bespoke shipping cost is included in your quoted price and at no additional cost to you. Because of the bespoke nature of this service the fit of your sneakers cannot be altered once you have received your product so please make sure you choose the best size for you. After your enquiry we will send you a measuring guide to provide us with your foot length in CM to help with this process. Our sneakers are all handmade in our London studio and have not been subject to testing. 

Our Sneakers are made to order, because of this a non-refundable initial payment of 50% is required to secure our time.
