R.E. Tricker Limited was founded in 1829 by master shoemaker Joseph Tricker. Five generations later, his family continues to apply the same uncompromising standards of craftsmanship and traditional skills in the production of their world-renowned shoes. A reputation for outstanding manufacturing, quality and durability established Tricker’s as the maker of choice for heavy country boots and shoes for farm and estate owners to the landed gentry. These styles were later adapted for hunting, shooting and even for wear in town. Around the turn of the century, Tricker’s introduced the Jermyn Street collection and in 1925 we opened a store on London’s Jermyn Street. Unrivalled in quality, personality and character, Tricker’s footwear is to this day made entirely in our Northampton shoe factory, where we also offer full in-house bespoke, made-to-measure and repair services. We are honoured to hold a Royal Warrant bestowed by His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, since 1996.

Church’s history can be traced back to 1617, when Anthony Church, a master shoemaker was handcrafting shoes in Northampton, England, a town renowned for producing fine footwear since medieval times. His descendants followed in his footsteps, establishing Church’s & Co in 1873. Church’s still manufactures in Northampton, while its 62 directly-owned and operated retail stores now span the globe, with locations in London, Paris, Edinburgh, Milan, Berlin, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai and Beijing. Church’s continues to present men’s and women’s collections that are unparalleled for craftsmanship and luxury. These handmade shoes are loyal to the artisanal traditions of English shoemaking. Timeless in aesthetic and exceptional in quality, they are amongst the most long-lasting and desirable in the world. Church’s has been owned by the Prada Group since 1999
