British Shoe firm Tricker’s opens Tokyo store

Tricker’s Japanese store is its first outside the UK.

The company was founded by Joseph Tricker in 1829 and has had its Royal Warrant since 1989.

Martin Mason, managing director, said: “If you head into Tokyo, Northampton footwear has a really important place”.

Mr Mason said that footwear made in the county was “revered” in Japan and seen as a “luxury brand”.

He said that 80% of the firm’s sales were overseas, and that it could open other stores in countries such as South Korea and the United States.
