A difference of opinion on an aeroplane between two English business partners on the verge of launching a bold footwear project led to Portugal taking up the baton of what would become one of the most famous shoe brands in the industry.
Whilst at a fair in Dusseldorf, where that particular new brand was to be unveiled, the well-informed entrepreneur Fortunato Frederico discovered that the stand would not be open for business after a falling out between the company’s partners. “We wanted to create a brand and we had an idea for a lighter, less formal shoe, something casual, comfortable, soft, young and urban. When we found out what was going on, we realised that it was exactly the thing what we had in mind and just what we were looking for”, recalls the business man from Guimarães.
The project originated in England, which was the first market that Fortunato Frederico was hoping to explore before bringing the concept over to Portugal. The brand had a name (FLY London) and an unusual symbol (a giant fly). The brand’s image appealed to Fortunato, who met the two Englishmen and bought them out: “I paid them a pretty penny and was left with very little money”, he remembers. And so, in 1994, FLY London was born.
This was footwear for the young and urban (between 15 and 35) and where originality was paramount: from the design of the soles to the combination of colours and materials. The genetic code of FLY London shoes has remained intact for 14 years and that’s very much the secret of the market success of this brand from Guimarães.
FLY London is a major presence abroad and their products can be found at international fairs and events, they’re worn by a variety of famous faces (see inset), they’re mentioned in the specialised press, and sell very well in a variety of countries. England is the main market, ahead of Portugal (in second place), Denmark, Germany and the United States, with Spain being another regular destination and Japan an expanding market. FLY London is sold on all five continents (and in almost all European countries), at over 1500 outlets. Africa, China and Brazil are the main targets for 2009 and over three quarters of FLY London’s business is done outside Portugal.
