Paul Tudor
“I've worked in the shoe industry for years... the experience everywhere is vanilla. With oswen, I'm bringing character back.”
Every Oswen boot and shoe comes down to three materials: leather, cork and natural crepe. The list is kept that short so the origin of each one can be documented. They are made by hand in a workshop in Portugal, and its owner is a shareholder in the label. Paul Tudor spent more than twenty years with other footwear brands before this: PUMA, adidas Originals, Clarks, and Birkenstock, where he was a product manager, and he has guest lectured on the sportswear design degree at Falmouth University. He grew up in Manchester. The label has been in Cologne since 2021.
