Putting together an innovative design in women’s shoes with the National Composite Centre to produce footwear that converts style into comfort
Made in the UK
This is a post I have had pending in the background and I am now so pleased to be publishing.
Since day 1 have said that I would like as much of my shoes to be made in the UK as possible. Since then, views have waivered and quotes have scared me. In the past I have had things made from abroad purely because the price difference was incomparable. When working on a shoe string budget (pun intended), these things really matter.
Lusso Technology Update
It’s been a while since I did an update on what’s going on behind the scenes at LR HQ and that’s because we’ve mainly been waiting on the result of an Innovate UK application. At the end of May, we submitted an application that was the most intense application I’ve ever written. I had input from various individuals from around four companies, and we were splitting the project into three partners; the NCC, PES Performance and Lucy Rose.
I put my heart and soul into the application, was up until 11pm editing and adding bits until the deadline. I was confident I’d done the best job I could have done.
