D-Stock is a very special project. We realised that some of the world’s finest shoemaking leather is left sitting on shelves in tanneries gathering dust. It’s perfect leather, by the way, not reject or seconds but simply the result of over production.
So we thought, why not use it up by making shoes out of it. The downside is that we can’t repeat a shoe if it’s a winner as the leather will be gone, so once they’re gone, they’re gone, but the upside is that we can make beautiful shoes at much lower cost. Of course, the other benefit is that we are using up existing leftover leather rather than making more, which is better for our footprint – excuse the pun.
Every time we find a new batch we will make it into more shoes and launch them right here. We will also add new styles as we go, so sign up for notifications as we anticipate a flurry of demand for every drop.
Thanks again for helping us do our bit, it’s one of many initiatives (see others here ‘link to the responsibilities page on grenson’) that we are working on to reduce our impact on the world.
Oh, and one more thing, we can also repair these shoes in our factory so that the beautiful uppers aren’t obsolete once the sole wears down.
