MERE FOOTWEAR

Mere is more than an Australian footwear brand. It's

a statement. It's a stake in the ground. It's a call to

action to keep footwear pure. To keep art, passion, and

quality part of its fabric. In the age of automation over

personal touch, quantity over quality, and mass-

machinery over hand-made mastery, Mere takes its

stand in the dirt.

We're proud of that stand. We like it, that's the kicker.

It's not a disadvantage to us. We like the whole

process. We like sourcing our own leather, and we like

the smell of each piece as it passes across our own

hands. We like making footwear the way we first

imagined it in our minds.

Atthe heart of it all we are in the art-creation business.

It just happens that our art is not hung on walls. Our

art takes you places.

Mere is proudly produced in our own factory in

Vietnam. James (the director/designer) has been

working with the same team in Ho Chi Minh for close

to 10 ten years now and considers them family and

Vietnam his second home. Choosing to set up the

factory in the outskirts of the busy city that was once

called Saigon gives us a cool, and calm refuge for us

to create the shoe's you know and love.
