The award-winning, independent Cheltenham shoe retailer, Keith Scarrott, is opening a pop-up store on the high street in Burford, Oxfordshire. It will be open from now until Christmas.

Established in 1975 by Keith Scarrott, the shop quickly became a much-loved stalwart on the Cheltenham high street, selling bespoke shoe ranges, high quality products. Sophie Scarrott, Keith’s daughter is now at the business helm, ensuring that his founding ethos for creativity, style and high standards are relevant to today’s current tastes and trends.

Just as Sophie is carrying on the design family tradition, so are our customers. We are proud that generations of the same family frequent our store, all finding shoes and styles that suit them.

Keith Scarrott’s exclusive collections are designed in the Cotswolds and hand made in Italy and Spain by the brand’s European artisan partners.

Managing Director Sophie Scarrott said: “We’re delighted to be opening in Burford up until Christmas. It’s a bustling town with a fantastic mix of independent shops that we’ll sit alongside beautifully. We’ve successfully traded in Cheltenham for 45 years and see Burford as a similar town.”

The store officially opens on Monday, the 2nd of November, and it will be shared with ladies wear brand, Bodega, with gifts and accessories from The Lion Sparkles and Hector & Queen.

Sophie added: "With the other three brands I’ve think we’ve created the perfect one-stop shop for fashion and Christmas gifting all under one roof."
