Our guiding principle is that our crafted products are wherever possible made in England.
The centre of this activity is the Foster & Son workshop, situated right over our retail store in Jermyn Street, and staffed by an enthusiastic dedicated team of shoe and bootmakers who have many years’ experience in leather craftsmanship.
Our Briefcases and luggage are fully English made using top quality English Bridle leather or canvas and high quality brass fittings. Attaches are measured by depth, from the slim-line 2.75" up to 5". We will be happy to make a case your your own specifications. Allow about 20% premium over our retail prices for a unique case, and about 6 -8 weeks for delivery.
Foster & Son Ready to Wear shoes and boots are made in Northampton to the specifications of our bespoke shoemakers, who set the standards for this high quality offering. If you would like different leathers, colours or finishes from what you see, we can often have a shoe made specially for you.
Fosters' wallets, card cases, jotters and key fobs are all made here in England by local craftsmen and women.
We welcome designs for specially commissioned pieces to meet your own requirements.
The Fosters range of accessories is designed to complement and sustain the quality and longevity of the products you buy from us.
A well designed shoe tree, or even a humble shoe brush, will give years of pleasurable use if made and designed properly, and good old fashioned beeswax polish is still the best to be had.

The Oxford shoe design is an English classic, with its closed front providing a neat and elegant look.
Deceptively simple, the upper of this 5 lace "whole cut" version of the Oxford is made from one piece of leather, which means that a high quality blemish free skin and skilled craftsmanship are required. The result speaks for itself.
