History
Butts and Shoulders started operations in 2014. The founders all had backgrounds in the fashion, footwear, and lifestyle sectors. They formed the brand to develop leather goods described as unavailable on the broader market at the time. The company was created with an emphasis on authenticity and traditional craftsmanship.
Manufacturing
Design work for Butts and Shoulders products takes place in the Netherlands. The brand's production is based in Portugal through collaborations with local partners. The company visits its manufacturing partners to oversee production methods and organize ongoing cooperation.
Construction and materials
Butts and Shoulders uses natural vegetable-tanned leather for its footwear and leather goods. The company avoids chemical treatments in the tanning process. Products made from this leather develop a patina over time. The footwear is built using Goodyear welt construction, which is a method that allows resoling.
Products
The company's product line includes boots, sneakers, and bags made from natural vegetable-tanned leather. Boots in the range include models described as Classic Boots, Heritage Boots, and Combat Boots. Sneakers are also produced in the brand's range, using vegetable-tanned leather uppers. The brand offers leather bags such as worker bags and post bags constructed from the same type of leather as its footwear.
