Sanders
Shoemakers since 1873
Sanders & Sanders Ltd. (or Sander Bros., as it was first named) was established in 1873 by brothers William and Thomas Sanders of Rushden, Northamptonshire. William Benjamin Sanders was apprenticed to the shoe and boot trade as a lad and then went on to work in London as a clicker before returning to Rushden in 1871, at the end of the Franco-Prussian War, with the vision of setting up his own shoemaking business with his brother. Today, Sanders & Sanders remains in the same factory on Spencer Road in England as it has done for the past century, is known throughout the world as the very best in English elegance, and exports to over seventy countries across six continents.
