Hello and welcome to our news pages! Here we will be able to share what’s going on at the workshop, ideas we are working on, news of sales or special offers and much more!
This year has seen some really exciting developments at Green Shoes, starting in January with the move to Dart Mills after being based in Totnes. Our new workshop by the River Dart feels really homely - after a chilly start (before the heating was up and running!) when we were wearing layers of jumpers topped with our shoemaker’s aprons, we are now really settled in and enjoying this lovely sunny space.
Since moving, we have been working on some new accessory designs in Eco-tan leather. We love this leather! It is inspiring to work with such a gorgeous new material, that not only feels and looks wonderful but that is organically tanned with sustainable pure plant extracts. We are really happy with the samples of the new bags that are coming out of all the discussions and test runs (yes, we are very lucky and get to wear our prototypes out and about, we have to make sure they look great and work well in coping with the jumble of things we cram into them!). We have settled on 4 new bag designs, including one for men, and a couple of belts, all available online in July.
Another addition to the site is the Archive Sale page, where we will now be able to offer sale items online. It will be updated throughout the year so it’s really worth checking in every now and again as there may be the perfect pair of shoes just waiting for you!
