Rob and Paul were interviewed by online magazine Sorted. They talked about their incredible journey, especially focusing on their powerful campaign to help orphans and children in need all over the world.

So less than a year ago my brother and I were working out of a flat in Brixton with one of us on the sofa...trying to get people to believe in the idea of Gandys & ethos. This morning we fly to Seattle to meet Nordstrom one of the biggest retailers in the World who are responsible for making Toms & UGGS famous across the US! Then we finish off by meeting Bloomingdales & Macy's in New York! Push the boundaries and follow your dream!

Gandys is looking forward to working with Soletrader - only a few weeks away now!

Rob, Paul and the Gandys team enjoyed a weekend of promotion and selling at London Fashion Weekend. Held at Somerset House it was filled with other well known high street brands showcasing the best of British fashion.

Rob was a guest blogger on the Virgin Lifestyle blog, where he talked about Gandys history and background; from himself and Paul founding the business, to developing the products, and the more recent success of launching into the top U.K retailers this coming Spring. The final chapter reflected the future of the brand giving back to those less fortunate communities of Mango Tree House in Goa, and the aim of opening their own orphanage in 2014.
