      I was wondering if last year's were just some weird showcase as my questions about prices and availability went unanswered. Are any of the above actually available and if so can you please give some idea how much they will set us back?

      PS They look fantastic, as they did last year.

        I'm sorry about that, i try to always comment back on someone commenting and asking something. Not quite sure how i missed that one.
        The collection is for sale, on a made to order service. The price range for this collection is ranging from £380 to £480 depending on the leather used. They can also be made to a custom requirements regarding color and leather used. Please note they do take around 32 hours to make each pair, so not a fast production turn over.

        Thank you

          I like these quite a lot, they're inspired but subtle. How did you get into making shoes originally?

                Hi Ambrosian,

                Thanks for commenting on my work.
                There was a Japanese shoe designer that was selling his shoes in Soho in London and i started buying them, and understand how much a difference well designed shoes make to your overall style. So many people wear the same shoes produced the same way from the same materials, and he didn't follow the norm.
                A few years later i was in L'Eclaireur in Paris and found Paul Harnden and fell in love with his work, and the way me made his shoes. From that point on i started researching and learning how to make shoes at home by hand.
                I had been making clothes for many years before and the moving from clothes to shoes was quite natural, and didn't run into to many problems. It helped having a understanding how patterns work, the main different was the 3D to 2D back to 3D for shoes, compared to 2D to 3D for clothes.
                You can really find almost everything you need to no on YouTube, it was just a case of finding the way i wanted to work and practice over and over again.

                I hope that's alittle insight into how i how i started making shoes.

                If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

                Many thanks

                                Thanks Shifts, the shoe size pictured is UK8 or 42eu. I have an older style in size UK10, if that's a help.

                                Thanks,
                                James
