AW12 Press Day at our Manchester store on The Avenue, Spinningfields
17 Aug 2012 03:15pm
We showcased our AW12 collection at our Oliver Sweeney store on The Avenue, Spinningfields in Manchester last night.
This season we’ve taken our inspiration from fine Italian wines, naming each shoe after our Cobbler-in-Chief’s favourite reds and whites. With a mixture of formals and casuals in high-shine rub off leathers, eye-catching designs and rich colours we’re extremely proud of this luxurious range.
Particular favourites among the press were the Bonn Zebra chukka boot and very fittingly the Santo and Emilia Gold shoes!
Here are some of the AW12 Collection highlights to whet your appetite!
Santo Navy and Santo Brown Croc
Albany Black
Salento Brown/Green

Oliver Sweeney Jubilee Art Campaign
28 May 2012 12:20pm
Nearly every shop window on Great Britain’s high streets has been given a Diamond Jubilee makeover; it’s almost impossible to escape the bunting, crowns and corgis!
Here at Oliver Sweeney we decided to create something a little more permanent, but still very much in keeping with the red, white and blue theme.
For two days we worked with graffiti artists to paint the entire shop front of our Oliver Sweeney Covent Garden store in Union Jack colours.
But this wasn’t any old Union Jack – the painting was made up of small stencils of Oliver Sweeney shoes.
In the beautiful British sunshine tourists and passers-by stopped to marvel at our project.
One just married couple even chose it as the backdrop for their wedding photo!
If you’re in Central London over the Jubilee weekend pop down and see this sensational artwork and why not tweet about it too?! #oliversweeney

| Talking of whose shoes you’d like to be in, do you think you’ve got what it takes to fill the shoes of F1 Supremo Bernie Ecclestone? (Laughing) There’s no truth whatsoever in that rumour. No truth. Really? No, no truth at all. Is it just a case of different sized shoes then? Well you know what Mae West said? Better to be looked over than to be overlooked! You’ve got to be in it to win it. Let’s move away from F1 and talk about retail – 2012 will be an interesting year for retailers with the Jubilee and the Olympics. How do you predict the industry will do? I believe that those retailers that give customers the right product, the right price, the right styling and the right service will do well. You know, consumers aren’t stupid they will follow something that they believe has quality and value to them. What do you think of our new look Oliver Sweeney Conduit Street store? The store’s fabulous! I’ve not been in here before. It really looks good. It’s got quite an awkward frontage but it still invites you in. The main reason I like it is that it’s very bright; it’s got good lighting and when you walk past it says to you that you’ve got to come in here. How are you finding our shoes? They’re fabulous. I’m a great colour man – men don’t wear enough colour and need to be led slightly so what you’ve got here is not cutting edge fashion but it’s edgy. It’s good. |
 Would you say shoes maketh the man? Yes. They’re very important. I always advise people to buy the best quality (shoes) they can afford. Cheap shoes make you look a cheapskate - there’s a line for you! And the other thing is keep them clean. First thing I do when I look at a person for interview is I say is their hair clean, are their fingernails clean and are their shoes clean? And if they fail any one of those three things they don’t get the job.  Shop Abrahams here Read other Oliver Sweeney Meets... |

For a true Gentleman, a well fitting, long lasting shoe goes without saying. It’s a mark of refinement and a statement of personal pride in one’s appearance that says ‘look at me’.
Wanting our Oliver Sweeney fans to look the part we teamed up with James Shoe Shine to offer free polishing at our Cheapside store. After all, there are few pleasures in life that match that of stepping out in nice, shiny Sweeneys.
Professional shoe-shiner Jock Kennedy from James Shoe Shine polished up scuffed shoes all day making the city a shinier happier place!
