Maduakonam, an IT Consultant with no retail experience, noticed a gap in the market. There were few quality, hand finished shoes available on the high street, and those available carried exorbitant price tags. Maduakonam felt his girlfriend was throwing money at sub standard shoes which would need throwing out after a few months and decided to seek out fashionable shoes with a more refined and robust finish.

Emmanuel scoured Europe for original and well made shoes and came home to the UK with a fantastic range of designer labels exclusive to Tagbo including Lola Cruz (Spain), Dolce Nera (Italy) and a new but quickly evolving own brand Tagbo range – with shoes also coming from Greece.

Shoes sold on Tagbo are individually sourced by buyers who are less interested in cheap, fast moving fashion fixes and more interested in classic but trendy, quality footwear made from top spec materials, with that extra special touch! Most of the shoes available from Tagbo are hand finished with leather soles and the collections seem to include a style for every occasion. From the very ‘now’ platform silhouette for a smart trendy office to club look; the collection also includes a massive array of evening shoes, sandals, flats, peep-toe ballet pumps and boots and is constantly being updated with new product on a weekly basis.
