The positive reaction has been generated by the new design direction the brand has taken and from the 
introduction of the new Good Year Welted and ‘Oliver Sweeney London’ collections. These lines have 
taken a more of a contemporary approach whilst retaining original characteristics of an Oliver Sweeney 
shoe. 

Oliver Sweeney recently launched a high impact advertising campaign across London, using prominent 
96 sheet Outdoor Plus billboards  The creative focuses simply on the Oliver Sweeney logo, a beautifully 
crafted shoe, the signature green inner sole with a simple caption – NOT FOR TIP- TOEING. The 
campaign  has been designed to entice loyal and new consumers to the stores to discover the current 
collection of footwear, apparel and accessories. More creative concepts to support the brand are due to 
follow in the early Autumn.  

This Autumn also sees the opening of Oliver Sweeney’s fifth store, located in the new luxury 
development of Spinningfields, Manchester, on The Avenue alongside other successful fashion brands 
such as Armani, Flannels, All Saints and Mulberry, will open on the 23rd of September.
