A Heritage Shaped by Four Generations
Some traditions are inherited.
Ours is crafted.
49+ Years of Craftsmanship & Expertise
6,000 Pairs Daily Manufacturing Capacity
1.5 Million Pairs Annual Production
Our story began in the 1920s, when our great-grandfather began creating finely crafted leather footwear with traditional leather soles during the British era in India. What began as a family craft became a lifelong pursuit of excellence — passed from one generation to the next.
In 1972, Hari Kishan Pippal carried this heritage forward, expanding our manufacturing capabilities while preserving the meticulous craftsmanship that defined our family’s shoemaking tradition.
By 2007, the next generation, led by Girish, recognised an opportunity to bring this heritage to a discerning international audience. This vision led to the evolution of Harrykson London Premium Shoes, establishing our presence with retailers across the United Kingdom and Europe.
With operations supported by dedicated stock facilities in Pirmasens, Germany, and Swiss Cottage, London, we built a strong foundation for serving international markets with consistency and precision. Our brand achieved recognition and registration across the European Union, covering 27 countries.
Today, four generations of knowledge continue to influence every stage of our work — from the selection of materials to the final finishing. We combine the soul of traditional shoemaking with the precision of modern manufacturing to create footwear worthy of a global clientele.
Welcoming footwear enthusiasts and international visitors to experience our craftsmanship firsthand.
