Here on The Shoe Snob Podcast Episode 7, I touch on various subjects that are going on in the shoe industry from the leather crisis to new lasts by TLB and a new RTW Line by Ichigoichi Shoemaker among other things.
In the industry, there are always things going on, but often not enough places to let them be known. So for this new series on the Podcast, I will start to focus on current events i.e. the news of the industry.
Today I touch on the leather crisis and how that is affecting shoe companies. Not to mention the change in business transactions from offering a line of credit to now requiring upfront payments and how that will change the concepts of Made to Order and time frames of production.
I discuss TLB’s new Madison Last, a clear alternative to those that prefer that round, bulbous Americana-style look. Learn more: https://www.tlbmallorca.com/
I discuss briefly the new RTW line by Ichigo Ichie Shoemaker. Sorry, I mispronounce this in the video! Learn more here: https://ichigoichieshoes.com/
I discuss the moves that Stefano Bemer is making. One with a new website (still not live yet though) and some potential news on a new shop in NYC coming soon. Learn more: https://stefanobemer.com/
Lastly, I discuss my new blog design and what I envisioned with the new look. But if you are here now, you have seen this update 🙂
Great job! Can you provide the name of the Vietnam shoemaker. Thanks Nick Giampetro
