How Sanders is able to offer reasonable prices

If you try to buy leather shoes in Japan of the quality of the Northampton brand, which has been in existence for about 150 years and is a traditional and competent brand, many brands are almost twice the price of Saunders’ shoes. This is an understandable price setting considering the materials, craftsmen’s wages, transportation costs, customs duties, etc. However, the reason Saunders is able to set a lower price than other British shoe brands is not because it lowers the quality of materials or hides its craftsmen at an unfair price.

The main reason for Saunders’ price point is that it manufactures products for the British Defense Ministry, as mentioned above. Nearly half of the factory’s production line is used to make shoes for the British Defense Ministry. In addition, Saunders employs a large team of nearly 100 craftsmen. There is no off-season throughout the year, and many highly skilled craftsmen are able to handle the overwhelming volume of government goods. The brand is called “the conscience of British shoes” in the Japanese media, and because of its high cost performance, it is becoming increasingly popular not only among men who love luxury shoes and leather shoes, but also among the younger generation and women’s shoes, making it a suitable brand to choose for your first pair of authentic shoes.
