The Story

Grenson has made Northamptonshire shoes for 150 years. It navigated near-bankruptcy to emerge as a premium heritage brand that makes most of its shoes in the same factory it always has.

Key Insight

Heritage is only an asset if the manufacturing heritage is still intact — otherwise it's just nostalgia.
