UK’s Church's to enter India through Heel & Buckle

Premium footwear label from the UK, Church’s is all set to mark its entry in India through exclusive distribution partnership with multi-brand retailer, Heel & Buckle. The footwear range of Churches is priced from Rs 20,000 up to Rs 72,000, which will now be retailed at Heel & Buckle’s existing three outlets in Mumbai, Delhi and Gurgaon.

As a part of its retail expansion strategy, Heel & Buckle plans to open up to 12 outlets this year across the country and up to 120 shop-in-shops in the next 2 to 3 years to spread its reach. Other brands on offer at the Heel & Buckle outlets include Alessandro, Magnanni, Rad Russel, Pazzion and Paco Gil.

The Church's brand was founded in 1873 in Northampton, England by Thomas Church and his three sons. The company follows a concept based on family experience in the production of handmade men’s shoes since 1675. In 1999, Church's was acquired by luxury firm, Prada Holding.
