The Deakins Brand
Back in 1991, Craig Nicholas Tate founded the Nicholas Deakins brand, while studying for his Fashion and Textile degree in London. At the time, Tate had found a niche in the market for affordable, smart-casual shoes that could be worn on a night out – something that wasn’t trainers!
While working a summer job, Tate joined forces with one of his friends that worked in a menswear shop in Leeds. They came up with a concept and it took off from there. Deakins shoes started selling in stores and Tate decided to take a break from college to give his new brand a proper go. The fact he didn’t ever go back speaks for the brand’s success!
Over time, the Yorkshire-based brand has evolved and expanded – with a number of collections under its belt. Craig Nicholas Tate is still the dedicated managing and design director!
