【The Old Curiosity Shop】

The Old Curiosity Shop, Built in 1567. it is one of the oldest surviving buildings in central London and is said to have inspired a famous Charles dickens novel.

In 1994, shoe designer Mr. Daita Kimura opened his handmade shoe shop in this historic location.
His shoes are based on traditional British shoemaking, but also incorporate London's unique punk sensibilities, musical mood, and modern elements, resulting in a unique appearance.

Stepping into the shop is like entering a scene from a film; the space, etched with the passage of time, the striking spiral staircase, and the evocative atmosphere all create a truly immersive experience.

Mr. Kimura moved to the UK in 1988 and enrolled in Cordwainers College in 1990.
After the death of legendary shoe designer John Moore, who was active from the 1980s to the early 1990s, Kimura began producing John Moore's handmade line at The Old Curiosity Shop in 1994, to carry on his lasts, designs, shop, and studio into the future.

Furthermore, he has collaborated with numerous renowned designer brands, creating handmade footwear for runway shows. Today, The Old Curiosity Shop remains a powerful presence—a place where British history, craftsmanship, and London culture intersect.
