MADE IN BRITAIN – A BFA INITIATIVE

Contrary to perceived opinion the British-made footwear industry has not completely died out. The UK manufactures over 5m pairs of shoes each year and the industry has an envious reputation around the globe, not only for high grade mens welted footwear (Church’s, Crockett & Jones, Barkers, Cheaney, Trickers, John Lobb and others) but for products where the UK is successfully competing with the Far East (Hotter and New Balance for example).

Many of the UK manufacturers produce for their own label only – however, following the growing worldwide demand for footwear with the treasured Made in Britain label, the BFA has led an initiative to find new pockets of British excellence in the home-grown footwear industry and has now developed the ‘Brit List by the BFA’ .

The BFA has researched and identified a number of manufacturers who are producing an amazing variety of styles, often using British made components and who are prepared to produce footwear for other labels.  As a result of introductions made by the BFA, many of them are now working with well-known brands and retailers on exclusive ranges.
