Sanders - Gibson Jude Light Tan

  One of our most popular and favourite shoe's here at Fat Buddha Store over the past year has been the Gibson Brogue from Sanders .   Established in Rushden, Northamptonshire, in 1873 by the brothers William and Thomas Sanders, the company’s aim was to supply outstanding quality footwear to discerning customers.   The two brothers and their band of five skilled craftsmen selected the finest English hides and the very best local oak-bark tanned soles, and there began the tradition of designing and making the gentlemen’s footwear for which the name Sanders & Sanders is world-famous today.  The Sanders Gibson Jude brogue in light tan sits alongside more from their range, including the the same model in Dark Brown Grain Leather and more styles that you can find her e .
