The Shoe Guy

Mr. Simon Bourne


Simon Bourne, Founder of Hand Dyed Shoe Co. is, as you can see, a little bit different to 'norm' - whatever that is. 


Mr. Bourne's flair for colour, mixing pallets and experimenting with texture is well amongst the HDSCo brand legends.


Simon's favourite shoes are a pair of hand dyed blackberry Derby brogues - perfect for the dance floor, apparently!
