About El & James

My journey began as a young boy in my father’s workshop. I watched him shape leather with patience and purpose — every pair of shoes a quiet masterpiece. Decades later, that same passion lives on in me. From selecting the finest hides to the final stitch, me and my amazing team carry his legacy forward — one handmade pair at a time.

After a lifetime of service — in uniform and in leather — it’s time to hang up the boots.

Following my years in the military, I returned to carry on my father’s craft with pride and purpose. Now, at 85, it’s time to step back and make space for rest, reflection, and family.

Every pair of shoes tells its own story. To celebrate this final chapter, we're releasing one last collection — handcrafted, heartfelt, and now available at a special farewell price
