Being different in a unique way: this is the aim of the German brand Gordon & Bros., which produces in India very high quality models

There are 175 necessary steps before a Gordon & Bros shoe may leave the production line. The special feature of the models proposed by the German brand, located in Dusseldorf, is a Goodyear stitching on a Oxford/Brogues, capable to offer extreme comfort thanks to soft and first quality leathers. The brand name was decided in 1988 and the story which led to its choice is really interesting. Ash Mecca, the founder, travelled around the world to find one of the last functioning machines able to sew shoes in the particular way in which they had been made ever since.

He found it in the eastern United States and had it moved to the Indian factory. It was a valuable machinery that local staff desired to baptize with the name “Gordon”, from which the name of the brand itself originated. Since then the main purpose of Gordon & Bros is creating models that are uniquely different. Cool, classic and comfortable shoes, but always very very special.

The latest Summer 2017 proposal is a special edition that relies entirely on individuality and personalization, through the use of tattoos which are affixed to the upper. From August 2016, customers can upload their own drawing/tattoo on www.gordonbros.de and order their personalised pair, unique in its kind.
