Maud’s fascination with shoemaking began at age seven when she saw the upper of her school shoes removed and a new sole applied. Her interest in high quality, handmade footwear endures.
She has studied Footwear Design & Technology at the London College of Fashion, trained with 2013 QEST Scholar Ruth Emily Davey, worked as a shoe designer and now makes leather goods and shoes as MvdB Leather. Learning to make hand-welted shoes and boots is her next step to becoming a full-time bespoke shoemaker.
