Kerem Batuhan Özer

Master of shoemaking, now teaching apprentices

  • 🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye
  • Old Ashford Shop
  • Since 1980
  • English
I've worked in shoemaking since 1980. I learned from my uncle and passed what I could on to 1,700 apprentices. I can still tell good work from rushed work from across the street. I garden badly but happily.

More about Kerem

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