Kemal Uğur Şimşek

Local shoemaking and weaving

  • 🇹🇷 Üsküdar, Istanbul, Türkiye
  • Little Silverlake Repairs
  • 2010 to 2020
  • English, Turkish
I've worked in shoemaking from 2010 to 2020. I learned from my uncle and passed what I could on to 200 apprentices. The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 17 years later for another job. If we met, say hello. I'd love to know how life turned out.

More about Kemal

Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.
What gifts mean to Kemal: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
