Church’s history can be traced back to 1617, year of birth of Anthony Church, grand gran-father of Thomas, the founder; who learn the art of shoemaking. Church & Co. was officially established in 1873 and still manufactures the finest handmade luxury “English” shoes in its Northampton historical factory. Manufacturing tradition, exceptional quality and timeless elegance represent the distinctive elements of the style journey of Church’s shoes. In 1999 Church’s was acquired by the Prada Group, helping the shoemakers to take its brand to the next level, evolving Church’s global strategy. With its creations, Church’s becomes synonymous with an impeccable style that remains faithful to the aesthetic codes of its British attitude, without sacrificing the exploration of new areas of expression, playing with the combination of three primary elements: finest leather, classic taste and excellent cultural craftsmanship.
