After the main company was founded in 1996, this was separated from the ready-to-wear business and, from 2001 onward, presented as an independent area in which founder Jimmy Choo focused on his couture line. In 2004, it was described as producing couture shoes under license from Jimmy Choo Ltd. On Connaught Street in London, he has made bespoke shoes by hand with his team. The account also cites work for the British royal family and celebrities, positioning this as the area with the most individualized service compared with the main company’s broader range of shoes and accessories.
