Bertie has all your style must-haves for the season; an edgy urban brand appealing to young trendsetters looking for cool individual styles to set them apart Company Overview HISTORY: Carlo, a milan airport cleaner, spent many of his breaks chatting to shoe salesman who frequently travelled to and from Italy. Without realising it, Carlo was starting his love affair with shoes! Before long, brooms were swapped for shoe bags, buckets for order books and floor cleaners for shoe polish. Thanks to an opportunity from one of his new footwear buddies, he joined the airport hoppers travelling the world and selling shoes. In 1974 because of Carlo's new found love, 'Bertie' was created. Still to this day 'Bertie' is designed with a passion and an individuality both personal to our customer but inspirational to all. Description Bertie is an edgy urban brand appealing to young trendsetters looking for ‘cool’ individual styles to set them apart from the rest of the high street. Here at Bertie HQ our buyers and in house designers are constantly looking to emerging youth and street fashion as inspiration for next season, travelling to the world’s hottest city spots in order to deliver individual styles that aren’t afraid to be different. If you are based in London come and pop by our store in South Molton Street, housing the entire Bertie collections – including our recent new bag additions which are already creating a stir amongst our Bertie followers, press and fashion bloggers.
