You guys all remember Yull, yes? A quaint British shoe brand that is all about classic style over fashion? Well, about a month ago I visited the Yull factory to see how a typical Yull shoe would be made! It was actually a very eye opening experience as I had no idea just how much work went into making one pair – when I heard the term Factory I had envisioned a conveyor belt type system with lots of people doing one repetitive soul less thing each, nothing quite like what actually happens there. I had never expected so much attention, care and workmanship to be put into each pair of shoes..
Did you like that video?? I made it all by myself *pauses for praise*, special thanks to Kerry Bolland for making the music!
Here’s the full Spring Summer 2012 range (you saw a shoe or two in the video being made from this collection). I think the collection is meant to be available from March however I’ve had a quick look at the website and they’ve already listed the new bits in the shop! How exciting..
ATTENTION: PETITE FEET LADIES!
Also, available from March are shoe size 2.5!! This is HUGE news for us small footed ladies who find a size 3 just too big! I should be getting my very own pair of size 2.5 Yull shoes soon, so will definitely post about that when it arrives. I am so excited to finally have a pair of shoes that FIT. No more insoles, thick socks or padding, or simply falling over because my shoes jangle around my feet dangerously (or so I hope! Knowing me this could still happen). Chances are once I discover how comfy and easy wearing a pair of shoes that fit are I may never wear a different pair of shoes ever again!
What do you think of the new collection? Any favourites?
