The Trent Derby has been meticulously researched, designed and engineered in Earls Barton, Northamptonshire. The Derby is then handcrafted in India with Barker's partner factory.
The Derby originally became a popular shoe when it was worn as a hunting boot in the 1850s. As time progressed this design became a trendy style to wear in the city. The uppers are made from an unfinished European crust leather which is hand stained to create a deep black leather shoe. This combined with the injection of premium Italian leather into the sole ensures a long-lasting, hard wearing shoe that has classic style.
