How a Footwear Brand Built a Cult Following by Doing Less
Most shoe brands expand their range every season, introducing dozens of new styles and retiring others. One brand has taken the opposite approach: they make fewer than ten styles, update them rarely, and let word of mouth do the work. The result is a waiting list and a resale market.

- Repair programme for every pair sold
- No seasonal discounting — price stays consistent
