JAK
Founded in 2014 by Isabel and José Maria, and based in Lisbon, we’re big fans of JAK here at The Coolector. They began with a clear objective: offer premium products at a fair price. Today, they are all about redefining what premium means. JAK want to keep creating unquestionable quality items, at the fairest prices, without cutting any corners. For them, it is this simple: quality, care and fairness.

Crown Northampton firmly believe that ‘Made In England’ should mean ‘Made In England’ from beginning to end. They are fully committed to making all of their top-quality sneakers, shoes and boots here in England, with no outsourcing of labour or manufacturing to overseas factories. This strict code of practice makes sure that they have full control of their footwear from the early design stages to the final quality checks and finishing.
CLAE
Founded in 2001 by footwear and fashion industry veteran Sung Choi, CLAE was established out of the need for a brand new approach to creating footwear: modernising classic, casual shoes and blending them with the comfort of athletic footwear. CLAE share an authentic love for footwear and provides long-lasting products with thoughtful consideration of minimising the overall environmental impact.
