Dune London

in 1895. As Queen Victoria dictated the success of the British Empire from her throne, a Lithuanian gentleman departed a small vessel on London’s docks and set up a small shoe workshop in Whitechapel. The son of a cobbler who learned his trade on the backstreets of Vilnius, the man became the go-to local women’s shoemaker in East London thanks to his craftsmanship and meticulous attention to the women’s footwear trends of the day.
