The Resident Shoemaker
As most unwritten blogs, this one has been coming along for a long time. As most written blogs sites, I hope this goes on for a long time, with regular updates and serving the purpose I set out here:
To inform the reader, shoe enthusiasts, fellow shoemakers, clients and potential future ones of the shoe-making process in our factory using bespoke processes but using the help of machinery where better and more productive to do so;
To document for the sake of posterity, techniques, processes, small lessons/hacks and of course mistakes that we learn by doing this job day in and day out so that we may remind ourselves at a later point or for others to learn from our mistakes;
Our journey from a small shoe making factory in south India with a sharp focus of quality, craftsmanship and honesty in all that we do, to presenting ourselves on the world stage as we humbly attempt to stand (cap)toe-to-(cap)toe {pun not intended:p} with the best shoemakers in the world.
