Cordwainers Swanage

Cordwainers is a traditional cobbler /key cutter with the addition of a selection of vintage and recycled items on sale. .

When we moved to Swanage last year we had no idea that less than 12 months on we would be owners of a small but beautiful shop here offering a traditional skilled service and an intriguing eclectic mix of vintage goods.
Richard has gone from wearing a suit each day and working as an Estate Agent to learning the arts of Cobbling, Key Cutting and Leather Work and Bridget has finally got to realise her long term dream of bringing well priced and meticulously sourced vintage ranging from clothes, jewellery and accessories to homewares and small furniture.
Our mission is to maintain a traditional small local shop focussing on repairing and recycling rather than the mass produced throw away ethos of today's society.
