Brand Story
Fude originated in Qingdao, with roots tracing back to the early 20th century. After Qingdao opened as a port, its handicraft industry flourished, and the shoe and hat trade prospered. The founder, whose name is yet to be verified, established a shoemaking workshop during the Republic of China era (1912-1949). Driven by a commitment to quality and a keen sense of fashion, the brand quickly earned a stellar reputation. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Fude underwent public-private partnership and became a state-owned enterprise, with products sold nationwide. Since the reform and opening-up, Fude has combined traditional craftsmanship with modern design, becoming a representative of Qingdao's light industry. Its brand culture merges the city's maritime character with artisan spirit, witnessing a century of urban change and serving as a shared memory for generations of Qingdao residents.
