Expert shoemakers, Clarks launched its third store in Colombo through their sole distributor in Sri Lanka, D. Samson & Sons.

The store brings to the city Clarks’ beautifully crafted Spring and Summer 2017 collections for men and women.

The store is located in Colombo 4 and will offer a premium range of British key signature styles for the season. The brand juxtaposes vintage British styling with contemporary tailoring to fulfill everyday requirements of work, leisure and travel, and bears a strong resemblance to British roots taking pride in its nearly two centuries old heritage.

We have had a great partnership with Clarks and we hope to continue bringing the best of footwear trends to Colombo through this partnership.”

Clarks launched its first store in India in April 2011 through a joint venture with the Future Group and today owns 60 standalone stores in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The joint ventures have been very successful and now they are all set to expand into more Asian countries through the same partnerships. Apart from the standalone stores, the brand is also available in shop-in-shop formats and one Origin store managed by D. Samson & Sons.
