CRAFTSMANSHIP ROOTED IN TRADITION AND SUSTAINABILITY

Bracken and Sole Shoemakers began as a passion to preserve the endangered craft of traditional footwear making. Founded by Emily Dooley, a trained artisan with over a decade of experience, we’ve grown from a small Dartmoor workshop to a welcoming shop in Okehampton. Our ethos is simple: create pieces that are as comfortable as they are durable, crafted with premium materials and sustainable methods. Many come to us after discovering our careful approach to restoring well-loved items—an attention to detail that reflects the standards found in shoe and accessory repairs. For those who appreciate thoughtful craftsmanship in everyday essentials, our leatherwork echoes the timeless appeal associated with handmade bags and accessories. Contact us now for more details.
