Saxone of Scotland made his first appearance back in 1783, in Kilmarnock, in south-western Scotland.

Founded as a small business by George Clark, it slowly began to grow under George’s son James management.

By the beginning of 1900, all the shoes’ production was concentrated in Kilmarnock and Ayrshire county, and in

1908 the original company joined Abbott company to form Saxone Shoe Company.

Here is a fascinating, and pristinely kept, photograph of the upper sales floor of Saxone Shoes, Regent Street, London, in 1924. Click on the link to see the magnificent photograph.
