From rugmaker to shoemaker. From Quaker family business to global brand. From Somerset to the world. As Clarks celebrates its 200th anniversary, this book traces the remarkable history of the company behind some of the most iconic shoes of all time. Charting landmark footwear across two centuries, it explores Clarks visual heritage and cultural reach from Beatniks to hip-hop kids, Mods to rudeboys, UK ravers to Tokyo tastemakers and beyond. A brand is a story and this is the story of Clarks.
