I am originally from Morocco and I am a proud father of five sons. I came to Germany in 1993 and have had my store in Grunerstrasse since 1994. In 1995 I got my master from the Chamber of Commerce in Düsseldorf and since then I am allowed to call my store a shoemaking shop.

What I love about my work is the surprise. Every time customers bring something new, therefore the repairs are always individual. For me, a happy customer is the be-all and end-all. For that, I do my best with every repair, cleaning or alteration. In this way I want to save as many shoes as possible and do something good for the reputation of our craft and the environment.

My favourite thing to listen to at work is classical music.

Adidas and Gucci are my favourite sneaker brands.

But I also really like LLOYD shoes, which are also easy to repair.
