the cordwainers educational and training charitable trust company
Cordwainers are shoemakers, originally highly skilled craftsmen who used the
finest goatskin leather from Cordoba in Spain. The Company’s roots date back to
1272, and the first Charter in 1439 licensed Cordwainers to control the shoe
trade within the City of London. Today, the Cordwainers have a strong charitable
ethos and our primary focus is to nurture young talent in the fashion and
shoemaking industries.
