This shop with handmade shoes first opened in Amwell Street, Islington -- handy if you are mooching around Islington and Camden Passage antiques stalls. But since custom footwear has had a mini-meteoric upturn, and the designer's pretty pumps in brocades and satins have been gliding down the catwalks of Nicole Farhi and Betty Jackson, Hope has opened a more upscale central branch in Sloane Square, and at 207 Westbourne Grove, Notting Hill, W11.
