Overview

Oliver Sweeney is a menswear brand founded in 1989 by Oliver Sweeney, who had spent 20 years learning his trade from shoemakers in the industry.

The brand sells footwear including boots, trainers and shoes, as well as clothing such as knitwear, and offers shipping to the UK, US, EU, Canada and Australia.

History

In the 70s and 80s, good quality men's footwear was somewhat limited in choice and styling, or so the young Oliver Sweeney thought. In 1989, having spent 20 years meticulously learning his trade from the best shoemakers in the industry, Oliver set up his own brand, designing and producing innovative shoes and boots in a highly skilled, artisan factory in Italy. The designs celebrated traditional craftsmanship with refreshing modern styling, created with the best available materials from renowned tanneries. The resultant range was a new genre of high quality footwear that broke away from the traditional limited offering on the market at the time. 35 years later the brand has flourished into a comprehensive menswear collection of clothing, footwear and accessories. Tim Cooper has been at the helm of the brand since 2009.
