Merchant 1948 has become a household name with a history coursing three generations. A trusted source of premium leather footwear for any occasion. They are born out of respect for both quality leather and the art that is shoemaking.

As Merchant 1948 has continued to expand, the vision has remained the same: bringing well-made, modern footwear to New Zealanders.
Their footwear is built for the way you live. A clever mix of form, function, and fashion, with heritage firmly at its heart, footwear tailored carefully to work relentlessly for you.

Merchant 1948 is proud of what they do. It all starts from the sole.
