THANKS; Want Free Shoes?

HOMETOWN is now 160 days old, quite young, huh? But we have come long way to this day, and whole of our team thank you for all of your support in past months.

Whether you made a shopping with us, spread word about Hometown, or borrowed books from us. It has worked! You might know we're moving to our new office later this month and making great things like:

1. Selling our shoes & Chappals in over 17 countries.
2. Hired two new guys to make bespoke shoes.
3. Accept PayPal and major credit cards for payments.
4. Launching our mobile site in Dec
5. Awarded as 'Innovation Hero' by Govt. of Punjab and Google Inc.
6. Won P@SHA social innovation fund.

Best of all: Hearts of many friends / customers along the way.

We are now setting bigger goals, such as bringing more craftsmen on board, adding more products and getting into new markets.

HOMETOWN -- Just Launched!


There comes a time in life, when you prepare yourself for a big day. You have thought about this time for years. And now you finally made it in a series of events.

For some it is getting admission at a remarkable college, or marrying with right person, for some it could be buying the first shoes for their parents.

Here at Hometown we are in the middle of such moment right now.
Launching HOMETOWN! Oh WOW! Our first collection includes, ready to wear men shoes, wallets and belts and a special Pakistani footwear, called Chappal.



So no matter who you are, what you wear (canvas trouser, jeans, kurta or anything in between), and in which part of the world you live. You can surely shop one thing or two, or just come over, see what we have been doing, tell us what we should. More, you can also get custom shoes just made for you.

HOMETOWN came into exist for two main reasons, I and my team wanted to play our best shot so far, and to make use of exceptional skills of our craftsmen.

We short-listed several products, tried to find what can be done, and what will work best. For example, we failed 24 times, to make one of our Chappal. And now when we see it, we feel like, you know how it feels.

They say, journey of one thousand miles start with one step, it can be short, or slow, but it is probablly the most important. We have taken it, you've taken it, if you are reading this post and I so believe together, we'll learn how to live a better life and celebrate all what it has to offer.

There is so much more to say, but I'll let our products and service communicate that with you. Thank you so much, and if you have any thing to say, I force you to write in comments.
