Meeting Guy West

Hi!!!
This week I got the opportunity to attend a talk given by Guy West, from Jeffery West; the shoe company. He talked about how he entered the business of men's shoes, which he did by buying 2nd's from the factories in Northampton and customising them and selling them on at market. He told us how we could enter the business and the process involved with designing to making the shoes. I really enjoyed this and it really opened my eyes to the industry and the opportunities it brings.

 Here are some of the shoes he has designed and sells:

• He sells quite a lot of designs with a red aspect

 



•  A few of the designs are takes on the classic brogue

• Most of his designs are very bold and outgoing, which he sells mainly to band members

 

 

•  Here is a take on a Chelsea boot with a red aspect

 

• All of the shoes he sells have quotes burnt onto the leather on the sole

 

 

Hope to write again soon!!!
