Singapore-based footwear brand Charles & Keith has taken efforts to expand into new markets in Asia, the Middle East and Europe via a partnership with DBS Bank.

"It may be unexpected, but then I've never gone by the book," says Charles Wong, co-founder and Managing Director of Charles & Keith. Together with his brother Keith Wong, Charles made the bold decision to transform his mother's shoe shop in Ang Mo Kio into a regional empire selling 3.3 million pairs of shoes annually around the world.
