Blksheep Empire
Founder and designer of Blksheep Empire Jennifer Webb started her company to bring an explosion of colour and texture to footwear. Specialising in beautifully crafted Oxfords that often feature printed leather, bright colours and unique patterns, we especially love that the brand’s slogan is “Kickass shoes for kickass women”!

Gram
If you are looking for something in-between a sneaker and a formal shoe, then Gram is the brand you are looking for. With a distinctly Scandinavian design aesthetic – think clean lines, fresh details and unique colours – each season a new collection for both men and women is created that is both fashion forward and comfortable to boot.

Alternative Country
Launched in 2009, Alternative Country is inspired by early 19th Century American work boots. Using premium leather, the boots are painted entirely by hand and produced using a Goodyear welting process. The brand has also branched out into designing sneakers and sandals that retain an element of their signature industrial style.
