Six years selling other people's shoes. Now I'm making my own.
For six years, I resold sneakers.
Reselling has not been fulfilling. I want my own brand.
I didn't want to keep selling other people's shoes. I wanted to build something that was mine.
So I started Ash Cooper. It's a heel brand for women who are building something of their own: a business, a career, a life. It's a shoe you wear to work and then out.
Our first shoe is The Chain Pump. It's black, pointed, and clean, with a gold-tone chain at the ankle as its one piece of jewelry. It's made in sheepskin leather, lined in leather, with "Ash Cooper" stamped in gold inside. It's made in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. Drop 001 is 50 pairs.
Thank you for being here at the start.
