    www.thetailoredlast.co.uk Contact [email protected] Born out of a desire to create conceptual footwear across multiple product categories & diverse disciplines. Those where the key attributes when ‘the tailored last’ footwear design consultancy was founded in 2000. Having worked in the footwear industry as a footwear designer & developer since early 2000 for UK,International and private brands/labels, the next logical step was to offer those skills that had been so carefully developed and defined to a wider audience.

    Every project is different and understanding your needs and project requirements is something we believe is imperative to creating the right product for you & your brand. We have acquired extensive knowledge of the footwear design & footwear development process thru years of working in the footwear industry with some of the best UK & International footwear brands and footwear factories. We cover all aspects of the footwear design process from entry point to high end, casual, lifestyle, formal & safety footwear. From start up brands to international collections, we offer an end to end service.

    We work on a freelance footwear design / project basis and offer a very competitive pricing structure. We can work in-house or via satellite location with your development team or chosen factory.

    We have worked with Clients & factories in the UK, Europe, China, India, Vietnam, Taiwan, USA & Canada.
