Brand Profile
We have made shoes for over eighty years, for three generations. It is a long history that began with Giuseppe Baracco at the end of the 1930s. His nephew Gino was the true promoter of the company expansion, which has been continued up to the present day by his sons Gianluigi and Enrico. It consists of a long work of growth and development realised without renouncing to a precise and original genetic code: the rigorous use of traditional and artisan workmanship for the production of qualitatively superior footwear. A heritage of experience imparted over the decades and constantly safeguarded from ephemeral customs or compromises. The constant commitment to the production of footwear which has stubbornly evolved with respect for the best craftsmanship techniques combined with the continuous experimentation of new design and quality solutions of the new generations is what characterises Henderson. Research and selection of the most noble and exclusive materials, the manufacturing techniques handed down over time, the love and attention for details: a simple recipe that only the devotion to work can elevate to a rule, preventing it from remaining an empty slogan. This is how Henderson footwear succeeds in seducing with the taste for simplicity and harmony of line, with the warmth and pliability of materials, with the robustness of the assemblage, with the accuracy of the finish. However, if knowing how to artfully combine attributes such as design, fashion, quality, prestige and comfort is the prerogative of few, it is because technology and expertise are not enough to achieve extraordinary results. A third ingredient is required, which is far more important than the others: the passion for our work.
