Reviews on Prescott & Mackay

History
The first weekend accessory classes were taught from humble surroundings in East London but quickly developed a strong demand. Media attention and word of mouth soon generated interest from across the country and brought about a relocation to the heart of London's West End.In 2000 the growing number of visitors to its London classes from overseas, especially the US, led to the founding of P&M shoemaking courses in the United States offering a regular schedule in the Bay Area, California.In 2003 Prescott & Mackay opened Black Truffle. The two London stores - 74 Broadway Market, London E8 and 52 Warren St, London, W1T (the same location as the teaching studio) feature seasonal collections of shoes and accessories by small contemporary design labels from the UK, Europe and beyond.

Description
Prescott & Mackay offers a unique range of short courses in accessory design from studios in London, England, San Francisco, USA, and Melbourne, Australia.The concept for Prescott & Mackay was formulated in 1997. British founder Melissa Needham recognised a rising passion for shoe and accessory design, yet a distinct lack of provision for those who were unable to attend full time study.
