GIVE SWEENEY, GET SWEENEY
CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE | PRESS LOOKBOOK WWW.OLIVERSWEENEY.COM
GIVE SWEENEY, GET SWEENEY Winter is a time for reflection, a time for withdrawing indoors with a roaring fire and a good glass of wine, to take stock of the year. For Oliver Sweeney, 2015 has been a momentous one – we’ve been celebrating our 25th Anniversary, and the year has also seen the opening of our biggest-ever store on Henrietta St, as well as denim and our debut fragrance and knitwear collections, creating a complete Sweeney wardrobe from head to toe for the first time. But we’re not ones to dwell on the past. This Christmas, we’re celebrating in the only way we know how: with a superlative range of product that excels in both quality and style. Whether it’s beautiful Blake stitched shoes or rugged Goodyear welted styles, luxury trainers or go-anywhere outerwear, there’s something in these pages that is guaranteed to delight you – and your readers. And as for Christmas gifts, our completely refreshed range of leather goods and brand new luxury winter accessories is ideal for all of the men in your life (hopefully with a little inspiration for your own Xmas list too!) Although everything we do at Oliver Sweeney will always be driven by our obsession for shoes that blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, we always want you to expect the unexpected from us. As we continue onwards and upwards, we’re looking forward to bringing you with us into the future: the next 25 years of Sweeney. Here’s to the future! Tim Cooper Cobbler-in-Chief
