In the 70s and 80s, good quality men’s footwear was somewhat limited in choice and styling, or so the young Oliver Sweeney thought (and looking back we can probably all agree there were some rather mundane offerings). In 1989, having spent 20 years meticulously learning his trade from the best shoemakers in the industry, Oliver set up his own brand, designing and producing innovative shoes and boots in a highly skilled, artisan factory in Italy. The designs celebrated traditional craftsmanship with refreshing modern styling, created with the best available materials from renowned tanneries. The resultant range was a new genre of high quality footwear that broke away from the traditional limited offering on the market at the time.
