This man from Zurich is living his dream as a shoe seller in New York
The studied physicist Daniel Bucheli opened a branch in Manhattan with the bespoke shoe brand Le Majordome. That only worked thanks to Corona.
–At least a year: that’s how long Bucheli will stay in New York to establish his business.

Is it the typical American enthusiasm that is already evident in Daniel Bucheli? In any case, a “Huere guet!” out of the 36-year-old when asked how business was going in the first month at the new Le Majordome branch in New York. “We sell shoes almost every day. The numbers are as they should be, ”says Bucheli. And yes, the Americans are different customers, so someone spontaneously orders several models for the equivalent of 2,000 or 3,000 francs – “that’s a different league”. Bucheli is convinced of the concept, “but we also had concerns about whether customers in this fast-moving city would be willing to wait two to three months for their custom-made shoes”.
