With D. Samson and Sons Limited the marketing and distribution arm of DSI Samson Group as our strategic partner in Sri Lanka, we are certain that the brand will stamp its mark in the Sri Lankan market, he added.

From contemporary looks inspired by the catwalk to shoes that put growing feet in safe hands, one name says it all: Clarks.
Clarks began in a tiny English village called Street, in Somerset in 1825. Today the business is still based in Street, but manufactures and markets globally, selling close to 35 million pairs of shoes a year. The international design team takes inspiration from the archive and the rich melting pot that is British culture. Every Clarks shoe is made the proper way, blending traditional craft with cutting edge innovation and technology.
