I had a chance to visit the Berwick store in Korea, take photos, and meet new people.
Most big cities globally, including New York, Tokyo, London, and many other cities, have fantastic shoe stores. I had a feeling that Korean shoe stores are not well-known to people. So, I wanted to go around and introduce wonderful shoe stores in Korea. Luckily, I was able to get in touch with Berwick Korea and visit one of their finest stores in Co-ex Mall in Seoul, Korea. I made sure I visited during the less busy time to not interfere with people’s shopping hours.
Berwick 1707 is a Spanish shoe-maker, they produce shoes in Almansa, Spain, and is owned by Milan Classic S.A. Berwick produces excellent quality shoes that export to countries worldwide. It wasn’t too long ago that Berwick 1707 arrived in Korea, but Berwick is gaining popularity faster than any other shoe brand.
To me, it feels like the number of people who are looking for fine shoes is increasing in Korea. Overseas shoe brands were considered “Luxurious” or sometimes a waste of money. People did not understand the importance of fine shoes; therefore, shoe stores like Berwick could not sell many previously. Recently with the increased interest in fine shoes and increased globalisation. It’s not hard to find Spanish Goodyear welted shoes in Korea.
