Meet Erward Harrison
Erward Harrison has spent over 43 years mastering the craft of traditional shoemaking. Once a maker of fine leather footwear, his love for animals led him down a new path — one that combines heritage craftsmanship with modern values. Today, every pair is made using the finest vegan leather, ensuring style and quality without compromise. Built to last. Designed to lead. Ethical to the core. This is shoemaking redefined — the Erward Harrison way.
Timeless Craft. Ethical Roots.
Looking good should never come at the cost of something — or someone — else.
That’s why we craft our shoes from premium vegan leather: a material that mirrors the elegance of traditional leather, but without the cruelty. No hides. No harm. Just conscious design built on decades of shoemaking expertise.
For over 40 years, our passion has been in the detail — from hand-stitched seams to perfectly balanced soles. But today, true craftsmanship means more. It means respecting the world around us, and honouring the animals that don’t need to suffer for us to walk tall.
Our shoes aren’t just made — they’re ethically engineered. Built to last. Designed to impress. Created with care for every living being.
Because real style isn’t about excess. It’s about integrity, precision, and impact — on you, and on the planet.
This is what modern luxury looks like.
Cruelty-free. Consciously crafted. Proudly worn.
