Design a Pair 

The first sketch of Gandys and the signature rope strap. 

It was designed by Rob with nothing more than a big idea in mind and a pencil in hand.









"Design is everything, because without it there is no business. Anybody can design a decent product, not everyone can design an outstanding product. So, design is the differentiator."  - CEO, Pentland Brands

We are very design-focused at Gandys and strive to keep pushing the boundaries creatively.

Talking about design, collaborating on designs and encouraging young minds to be design as well as business-focused is something we love to do.

In November we announced our participation in the National Enterprise Challenge alongside Theo Paphitis and Rymans.

The challenge is a design competition across secondary schools in the UK with over 20,000 students taking part and the winning design being featured in our next collection.

We like to use this "Design-a-Pair" initiative to not only engage with young creatives and entrepreneurs but also to engage with the wider community as a whole.

Because afterall, who doesn't love making cool stuff?

If you're a budding creative with a flare for design and a love for comfy footwear... we'd love to hear from you!
