Overview edit

Initially, the shoes were manufactured in China and imported to Britain. A 2012 loan from the Prince's Trust partially funded a shift in manufacturing from China to domestic production in Northampton and subsequently London.[2]

Yull is one of the only independent shoe brands manufacturing high heels in Britain, and focuses on the international as opposed to domestic market.[3]
