It’s owner, Artemis Achilleos or Arty as he is known in the trade, is a third generation shoe maker with 40 year’s bespoke shoe making experience behind him. The business was based on the retailing and wholesaling bridal shoes, making handmade shoes to the requirements of the individual, and for those that have problem feet and cannot buy ready-made footwear, They also supply theatres, film and television companies with all their footwear needs. The company also services the couture world in London by making shoes and handbags in customer’s own fabric to match their chosen outfits. Shoe covering was introduced for those who wanted to use their own shoes instead of having new ones made. A cheaper†range of silk and satin shoes were bought in and aimed at the bridal market. These can be dyed to match any colour of fabric. As time went on, new bridesmaid and pageboy ranges were introduced. Now Baboucha Shoes & Bags have the largest selection in London.
