Furkan Cem Kurt

Shoemaking for 39 years in Üsküdar

  • 🇹🇷 Üsküdar, Istanbul, Türkiye
  • Üsküdar Shop
  • Since 1987
  • English
I've worked in shoemaking since 1987. I learned from my aunt and passed what I could on to 1,950 apprentices. Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I carry a notebook everywhere. Hearing from old faces is the best part of my week.

Crafts and trades

What gifts mean to Furkan: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
