EMMA HOPE

Emma grew up in Singapore and England. 

​Inspired by her teacher, Bob White, to do Art at A level, and encouraged by her writer mother Daphne Boutwood, who had been a fashion journalist, Emma went on to study shoe design and manufacture, and is a graduate of the Cordwainers College in London. 

​All the shoes and bags are made in small, family owned factories in Tuscany, where they are specialists in the finest hand crafted shoe making techniques.

​Buying beautiful vintage embroidery at jumble sales and flea markets, Emma loves re-working and reviving the old techniques of how they were originally made onto new shoes and bags.
