The history of Church's begins in 1617, when Anthony Church, master shoemaker, made shoes in Northampton, an English town known for producing quality footwear since medieval times. His descendants followed in his footsteps by founding Church & Co in 1873. Church's still produces in Northampton, while its 62 directly managed owned stores are now spread all over the world, with locations in London, Paris, Edinburgh, Milan, Berlin, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, and Seoul. Church's continues to present men's and women's collections that are unmatched in craftsmanship and luxury. These handcrafted shoes remain true to the artisanal tradition of English shoemaking. With their timeless aesthetic and exceptional quality, they are among the most durable and desirable in the world.
