The first bench
From the early 1980s, Bell's father made shoes by hand in a small workshop in Bangkok, learning the trade the old way: slowly, and from the hands of those before him.

Meet Bell
The maker behind every pair, and a trade passed down through two generations.
The artisan
Bell
Bell is a master shoemaker with more than fifteen years of experience at the bench. Since 2010 he has cut, stitched and finished every pair by hand, one at a time, with the discipline he first learned as a boy.
He is the second generation of a family of shoemakers. His father began the trade in the early 1980s, and Bell carries it forward, bringing more than forty years of family craft into every pair.
Two generations, one bench
Growing up in the workshop
Bell grew up among lasts, leather offcuts and the smell of wax. Long before he held a knife of his own, he learned by watching how his father measured, cut and stitched.
The craft passed on
In 2010 Bell took up the trade himself, trained at his father's side. He kept the methods that mattered and began making shoes under his own name: BellShoesHandMade.
The work
Meticulous
Care in every detail
Bell looks at a shoe the way a jeweller looks at a stone. He sees every line, edge and curve, and nothing leaves his hands until it is right.
Nothing is hurried. For Bell, time is part of the material.
Two generations of the same craft,
in the hands of one maker.
