Meet Designer Marc Hare
“When I got older, I didn’t want to wear an old man’s shoes or turn into an old man in kids’ shoes.”
Marc Hare was born in July 1970 in Croydon, South London. He attended London’s College of Fashion where he majored in Business studies and after graduating he worked in Public Relations. Over the next twenty years, he worked as a design and marketing consultant for some of the world’s top leading fashion labels before starting up his own brand in 2009.
He decided to launch his own brand after the realization that there were not enough shoes that he liked. In 2008 after losing his job, he went on a “tapas road trip” through Spain. While at a roadside tapas bar in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, he looked at an older gentleman’s shoes and decided that, with a few tweaks, they could be much better.
Marc opened his first store in Mayfair in September 2012.
