We recently caught up with Rowan at one of our UK retailers, Room 14. We’re super excited to be growing in the UK and meeting awesome people like Rowan! 

TOMS: How did you hear about TOMS?

Rowan: We read about Blake and the one for one campaign in an industry magazine. We had noticed that espadrille type footwear was creeping into the fashion market and felt that TOMS was a great product with a good story behind it too. We’ve been carrying TOMS for approximately 10 months now. 

T: Why does your store carry TOMS?

R: It's simply great product and suits our target audience. The Classics (in a number of colors) have been our best sellers. My favorite is the Classic in the Ash color as it sits well alongside shorts, chino's & denim.  

T: Do you get many customers who recognize the shoes?

R: TOMS have been phenomenal this year.  People make a special trip to our store just to buy TOMS.

T: What makes your store special, why should people come visit?

R: We have a really strong collection of brands, both apparel and footwear. We think we have managed to carve a niche business that prides itself on service. Our store is only small but has a really nice atmosphere with great product to boot!

We look forward to new Classic colors and designs. We have just entered our pre-Christmas period and the Botas boots are flying off the shelves too. We hope that TOMS continues to go from strength to strength.
