THE Merchant 1948 MANIFESTO We believe sometimes you need to say the unsaid; this Manifesto is both our ethos and direction - informed by the collective passion and dedication that drives our pursuit of the perfect shoe.

Our entire Merchant 1948 family has contributed to the creation of this Manifesto, drawing from both the everyday and the exceptional.

From over five hundred contributions, we tackled the challenge of distilling the essence of our Manifesto; this embodies our heart and soul, be inspired by what guides us.

BULL BOXER

06

Because life’s too short to be conventional… Take your cue from the Netherlands’ Bull Boxer and embrace a different approach to the everyday. From the wild and wonderful minds of our friends Bart, Ben and Beau, Bull Boxer embodies their devotion to pragmatically unorthodox design and truly unique footwear; Dutch fortitude and gusto inform everything they do, whilst the skill and ingenuity of Portuguese craftsmen brings their dreams to life.
