Crafting Handmade Bespoke Shoes For Women
From her private Gloucestershire atelier, Caroline Groves creates handmade bespoke shoes for women who value rarity, craftsmanship and absolute individuality.
Each pair is made to commission, shaped around the client and brought to life through the finest traditions of British bespoke shoemaking, combined with the delicacy and precision of Parisian couture needlework.
With more than 30 years’ experience, Caroline’s work has been exhibited internationally, shown in museums and recognised with numerous awards. She regularly travels to the USA for private client appointments, creating shoes that are not only worn, but collected, treasured and remembered.
“Combining intuition and alchemy, complex curves and multiple dynamics, shoemaking for me is to do with the head and the heart.“
