I Wanna Live Like Common People

Last month I went for my annual trip out on the ice and stumbled (literally) across a great brand at the YSC Best of British pop-up, 'Common People'. Of course it would be rude not to pinch a quote from their website 'Common People is designed for people with a common interest in premium clothing and footwear.'


What took me completely by surprise was the footwear, a really impressive range, refined and not over complicated!

How difficult is it to find a decent smart shoe on the high street that feels like it could sustain a frequent use i.e. for work. Most high street brands afford no affordable footwear that feels as though it would stand up to consistent wear. To me it has always felt that you have to spend a fair chunk of money to get a pair of shoes that will serve you well. Maybe that's about to change?

The shoe's at the pop-up you can see in the photo (black and burgundy grained leather derbys and green brogues with leather soles) were just over £100 and the boots (tan and navy suede EVA sole deserts and black and tan brogue boots) just under £120. I'm loving the grained leather burgundy derbys but the green brogues are also very cool indeed.

Any chance they could secure Jarvis Cocker as a brand ambassador?
