Product Story:
Mr. Morita, a master of the Goodyear welted method who has been making shoes for numerous famous brands for over 40 years, has established a team called TIME SHOE FACTORY in Kiyokawa, Taito Ward, Tokyo.
Shoe manufacturing is roughly divided into hanging, scooping, sole attachment, outseaming, and finishing, and each process is carried out in a different workshop. All these processes are gathered at TIME SHOES FACTORY , where craftsmen share the fine nuances of each pair of shoes, and create products with an atmosphere that is inevitable.
ARCHIVETOKYO products are created through the skills of these craftsmen.
