In five steps, at one bench

    Commission

    Choose the leather, the build and the sole edge, and pay in full. Ready in 2–4 weeks.

  2. 02

    Your fit, confirmed

    The bench reads your size or measurements and confirms them with you on WhatsApp. Nothing is cut until your fit is confirmed.

  3. 03

    Lasted by hand

    Every last is worked to your foot. There are no width fittings and no stock sizes.

  4. 04

    Sewn by hand

    Blake-stitched, hand-welted or storm welt: whichever you chose, nothing that leaves the bench is machine-sewn.

  5. 05

    With you

    Delivered anywhere in South Africa, or collected in Menlo Park. When the sole wears through, it comes back to the same bench.
