Britain has always led the way when it comes to
challenging the norm and pushing the boundaries of
design and culture. From our history and heritage to the
continuous creation of new lifestyle trends, from music
to fashion – the UK has never been afraid to bring you
something different – to challenge your expectations!
The foundation stone of the Barker brand was laid in a humble cottage in the heart of England’s shoe manufacturing
industry in 1880, by an enterprising Northamptonshire boot maker Arthur Barker, a skilled craftsman and natural innovator,
whose waterproof peg-sole boots were highly sought after (the pegs would swell when wet and make the sole waterproof).

Esska is a London based urban footwear brand that launched in 2006 and has been known since then for its stylish
