Ten years of direct to consumer
Ten years ago, Crown Northampton started selling shoes direct to the people who would wear them. The Woodford family had spent over a hundred years making shoes for department stores, buyers, and middlemen. From bespoke individual pairs in the 1910s, to mass production in the 1970s, then back again. When Chris Woodford took the reins, he made the call to change all of that and sell direct to you. This is the story of how he came to that decision, and what it has meant for the factory, the people in it, and the shoes that come out of it. It has also led to a celebratory limited edition sneaker for D16, our 16th limited sneaker drop, which ties this whole story together. It is a story about independence, craft, and the value of continuing to make handmade shoes in Northampton at a time when so much of the industry has moved elsewhere. At a glance: Crown Northampton is a family run British shoemaker, making luxury handmade sneakers, made to order shoes and leather shoes to order in Northampton, England since 1908. Ten years ago, owner Chris Woodford moved the business from wholesale to direct to consumer, after a realisation in a Tokyo store that the makers were disappearing behind the product on the shelf. Every pair is made by hand in their Northampton factory. Customers can customise the leather, the shoes are made one pair at a time, and orders ship direct from the makers. The D16 is Crown's 16th limited edition sneaker drop, a celebration of ten years of bespoke, direct-to-consumer shoemaking from one of England's last independent heritage shoemakers. It also reflects Crown Northampton’s continued place in Northampton shoemaking, combining British craft, Japanese relationships, and the modern demand for handmade leather sneakers made with patience and purpose. Learning from the past, by Chris Woodford We become what we are because of our past. My earliest memories, at four or five years old, are of my father Andrew's big shoe factories in Northampton. Everything looked so busy. I remember the sound of the sewing machines and the smell of leather. I couldn't believe how fast people were at each job. Everyone had their speciality. The clickers would swing the press with one hand, place the die like a jigsaw piece with the other, leaving the exact amount of leather for the next cut—always thinking three moves ahead, always smoking a cigarette. Piecework meant you got paid for what you cut, minus rejects, so a good clicker was something to behold. Totally caught up in the moment. The other part of the industry that sticks just as vividly is how much of a community it was. I remember accompanying my father to drop off outwork for hand sewing. Bags and bags of moccasins to be stitched at home, the original working from home. Usually wives of folk in the factory, or friends earning a little cash between other jobs. It felt like everyone being part of something. It also looked like hard work. The most striking memory I have is all of it disappearing. The reliance on department stores and the buyers representing them, switching to cheaper products offshore, stopped production almost overnight. Hundreds of staff with no orders, and the factory quickly shut. I had no idea at the time what it meant to have staff, or the stress involved in a moment like that. What I do remember is how hard it was on my family. At five or six years old, livelihoods, supply chains, and economic collapse are not concepts that mean much. The effect of losing them on those around me did, and the memory of that feeling is probably what drives me on today. That power individual buyers had meant my father had none. That observation is what led me to selling direct to you. Being able to talk to our customers means we are no longer in the hands of somebody else. We can make shoes in Northampton our way, rather than looking for cheaper ways to compete. Northampton has changed so much, but I love our community and how we can create that for the modern world. Somehow this slow, considered, artisanal craft has so much more value than it ever has. For us, that means protecting the skill behind Northampton shoemaking, keeping production close to the people who understand it, and continuing to make British handmade shoes with the care they deserve. The Eureka moment Northampton has been exporting shoes to Japan since the late 1970s, and quality has been at the heart of the relationship. It is not a quick relationship to build. Japanese craft culture is known for considered, long-term decision-making, which sits well with how we work. The American management thinker Peter Drucker, who spent decades observing Japanese business, once put it this way:
