Hello folks, we are back. The reason we have been quiet is, not because we did not do anything, but because we were been in so many amazing things to do.
So what are those things which kept us busy, let's talk a lil about them.
When it comes to the comfort of a handmade shoe, it basically depends on three things:
1. How good is the leather used
2. How well the shoes is stitched
3. Is the design mature enough to work well with different foot sizes and shapes
So we started with buying the good quality leather, and outsourced a creative shoe designer from Faisalabad. After couple of meetings with our designer, we showed him designs of dresses shoes made around the world.
Finally working with the designer we created 5-7 new design.
Right now Waqas is back in factory since one week to motivate Muhammad Hussain and his team to accelerate the pace of work in spite of sever power shut there.
Our team is making shoes of the exclusive designs which shall be ready to ship in mid of April.
A box for shoes? Yes, we are following the trend here, though I personally do not appreciate the idea of a shoe box much.
But our shoe maker team suggests a good box protects the shoe,because our shoes are made far from Lahore, so the boxes shall be of value. In future we shall of course consider a better alternate, but for now our shoes shall be packed in an classical designed shoe box.
Unlike a shoe box in a bag, we are presenting a bag in a shoe box. It means, our customers will be getting a free bag along the shoe, which they can use for domestic use.
Other than shoes, here at Hometown we are working to make wallets, belts and handbags. Like shoes, our leather ware will be made of quality leather and keeping a perfect design.
And we applied at Y Combinator to get more small businesses in hometown and to bring more quality products for our customers.
And one more news,
Waqas got a hair cut to compete summer :).
Hometown is "set for shipping." And as our Ceo, Waqas said, "No matter what keep shipping" so we are right on it.
If you want to buy any particular design for your shoes, belt or wallet at our online store, please write on our Facebook page. We will love to give you best experience.
