OUR HISTORY
In 1990, in a small workshop in Surry Hills, Andrew began designing and handcrafting bespoke men’s shoes and women’s shoes. Within 6 years he was awarded a Churchill fellowship, studying under master craftsmen shoemakers, John Lobb in London, and Paul Harnden shoemakers.
On his return to Sydney, Andrew opened a shop/workshop in William St Paddington, where he traded as A McDonald Shoemaker for 14 years.
In 2013 A.McDonald relocate to The Strand Arcade(Sydney city) in order to align his brand with Australia’s leading bespoke artisanal retailers. His ever-popular shoemaking course will continue at this location.
