The Bet on Refurbished Luxury Shoes It seems that the second-hand market is trending. We even read very impressive figures on the matter. For example, the BPI website tells us that by 2025, we will have seen "growth 11 times faster than the overall clothing retail market": https://bigmedia.bpifrance.fr/infographies/5-chiffres-a-connaitre-sur-le-marche-de-la-seconde-main.

The devil is in the details When it comes to shoemaking, we all expect to entrust our precious shoes to a craftsman and get them back repaired, even improved. Improved because the sole will now be non-slip, improved because the heel will make less "clack-clack" noise, improved because there was a snag on the heel and we hope to see it disappear... The shoemaker's goal is therefore to repair without the repair being visible, or to make existing flaws disappear... But by what miracle? That's what we're going to try to unravel.
