Cem Ali Kara

Shoemaking, done properly

  • English
My trade is shoemaking. I opened my own shop in 2003 in İzmir and I'm still there most mornings. The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 17 years later for another job. It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.

More about Cem

Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.
