A Spanish shoemaker based in Almansa, founded in 1991 and named after the Duke of Berwick, who led the winning side at the 1707 Battle of Almansa during the War of the Spanish Succession. The brand takes its name and date from that history rather than its own founding year. Shoes are built with genuine Goodyear welt construction for the main collection, with Blake-stitched loafers made alongside it for a lighter, more flexible build.
