Celebrating its 25th year, Cockpit Arts opens its doors this weekend for the ever-popular Summer Open Studios. One of the largest studios for designer makers in London, Cockpit Arts is home to over 100+ businesses including our very own bespoke shoemakers, carréducker.

Open Studios only happens twice a year and offers a rare, behind-the-scenes peak at London’s creative scene of jewellers, ceramicists, textile designers, interiors designers, milliners and independent fashion brands. Entrance is free and you can enjoy the opportunity to chat to and buy from the makers themselves.

To help Cockpit celebrate its 25 years, carréducker are offering their fantastic Winkers Resort Shoes at just £150 (rrp £275).

Made in England and reminiscent of a good martini – classic with a twist – the Winkers come in a range of British weaves including Isle of Mull, Harris and Dashing tweeds.

They are more relaxed than a loafer or car shoe and with more than a hint of fun, can take you wherever you want to go…off for the weekend, to the beach, for après-ski, up the red carpet or out to party!

Sizes are limited, so get down to Studio E2G at Cockpit Arts to bag yourself some stylish beachside clobber.
