Thank you for your support.
Running this shop has been a journey filled with passion, pride, and challenges. Over the years, I’ve faced unsold inventory, financial pressures, the impact of Covid, and even unfair competition — from copied designs to dishonest reviews.
Now, as I prepare to close this chapter, I’m offering significant discounts to clear our final stock. Saying goodbye isn’t easy, but I hope you’ll understand and support this decision.
With heartfelt thanks,
Erward Harrison
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.
0% Animal Harm.
No animals harmed. No compromises made.
We believe looking good should never come at the cost of another life. That’s why we use 100% vegan leather — no hides, no guilt. Just premium, cruelty-free materials that feel luxurious, last long, and do right by the planet.
You don’t have to choose between ethics and style. You can have both.

The Legacy of Erward Harrison
1981
The First Pair
At just 21, Erward crafts his very first pair of leather shoes by hand in a small workshop in East London. Word spreads fast — his craftsmanship speaks for itself.
1994
The Reputation Grows
Erward opens his own boutique. Known for his sharp eye, durable builds, and classic style, he earns loyal customers from all over the UK.
2009
A Quiet Conflict
Though his business thrives, Erward begins questioning the use of animal leather. His deep love for animals makes the trade-off harder to ignore. The shift starts internally.

A Bold New Chapter

The first cruelty-free collection launches — and sells out in weeks.

A Legacy Passed On
Now, after 43 years at the bench, Erward steps away to enjoy a well-earned retirement. His final collection is a tribute to everything he believes in:
timeless design, honest materials, and shoes that walk lighter on the world.
