I am sad to say I will be closing the shop on St James Street at the end of August. I have loved being a shop owner but it is time for me to move on.
Thank you so much to all my customers and supporters over the last 3 years.
I do not know what the future holds for Bracken and Sole but I hope it isn't the end.

I will be having a sale of stock and there is still time to place an order before the end of July.
My opening times are now limited so message if you want to visit.

Quietly working away in the shop today.
I hand punch every hole and manually press in the eyelets.
Slow fashion means less machines, more care taken and long lasting boots.
Handmade in my Devon workshop.

A one off veg tan satchel.
This was a challenge for me, I have not made a bag from such thick leather before, but I am thrilled with the results.
This was a custom order, with two straps and specific dimensions.
I hope the new owner will be very happy and can use this bag for years to come.

The shop will be open in the mornings only this week.
The big windows of my shop make it a greenhouse, so when the sun comes round it will be too hot for me and the dog.

Bracken and Sole is five years old!
The time has flown by, but it also seems ages ago I was in my old workshop. I love looking at the photos of where it all began.
Thank you to all my customers and supporters over the years. I have loved making all the interesting requests, colourful boots and one off bag designs.
