Clarks is back in India. And this time, it’s not just a comeback—it’s a full-on retail revival powered by Metro Brands.
Under a long-term distribution agreement, Metro Brands will be the exclusive retail and digital partner for Clarks across India and five neighboring countries: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Maldives, and Sri Lanka. That’s a pretty bold footprint.
So, what does this mean for Indian shoppers?
It means you’ll soon be able to shop Clarks not just online, but in stores—only through Metro Brands. The deal covers all offline channels, including Clarks-exclusive stores, plus digital platforms like the Clarks India website and e-commerce marketplaces.
Why Clarks Matters
Clarks isn’t just any shoe brand. It’s a British legacy—a global leader in comfort footwear since 1825. Known for mixing classic craftsmanship with modern style, Clarks has built a loyal following worldwide. Their shoes are soft, sturdy, and scream subtle sophistication. It’s the kind of brand that doesn’t just follow trends—it defines timelessness.

Why Metro Makes Sense
This deal isn’t out of the blue. Metro Brands knows Indian feet—and hearts. With over 900 stores in 205 cities, it’s one of India’s biggest footwear retailers. They know how to balance luxury with local tastes. That’s exactly why Nissan Joseph, CEO of Metro Brands, is betting big on this partnership.
“We want to offer a complete footwear wardrobe. Clarks fits right into our vision of blending comfort, style, and quality,” he said.
He’s not wrong. India is growing fast in premium retail, especially post-COVID. People are shopping smarter. And Clarks—once seen as a niche luxury—is now being positioned as a go-to daily comfort brand for urban consumers.
What’s Coming Next?
Expect Clarks mono-brand stores to pop up in major cities again. Also, their official India website will be run entirely by Metro Brands, making online shopping smoother. And yes, discount season might actually be worth the wait now.
The comeback also sends a strong message: India is a priority market for global fashion giants. And Metro Brands is proving that it can act as the perfect launchpad for legacy brands looking for a second innings.
For those who’ve missed Clarks—get ready. Your favorite shoes are not just returning. They’re stepping back in, strong and stylish.
