Manolo Blahnik opens Harrods boutique

Manolo Blahnik opens Harrods boutique
The luxury footwear and accessories brand has opened a new, dedicated store within Harrods in Knightsbridge, London. The space features 300 unique ink drawings of Blahnik’s footwear creations
The new boutique is located within Harrods’ “Shoe Heaven” on the fifth floor, a 42,000-square-foot space dedicated to fine footwear. It debuts with the brand’s autumn/winter 2026 collection, with creations inspired by diverse themes ranging from 1960s London to the Scottish Lowlands and the rich hues of ornate Italian castles.

“We are delighted to open our new boutique within Harrods, an exceptional destination for luxury and a true British institution. It perfectly complements our two existing stores in London, demonstrating the enduring importance of this market to our brand”, commented Kristina Blahnik, CEO of Manolo Blahnik. 

The new store features an immersive gallery displaying the designer’s sketches, including 300 unique ink drawings of his footwear creations. This gallery pays homage to the “Palette Room” in the Manolo Blahnik Archives, the brand’s virtual sketch archive. Customers will also be able to view a display of Blahnik’s desk, which is adorned with his personal artefacts. 

“With this new space, set within the iconic Shoe Heaven, we celebrate the craftsmanship and artistry that defines Manolo Blahnik. We look forward to inviting the Harrods customer to experience our world in a new and engaging way”, added the CEO of the brand. 

This opening comes after Manolo Blahnik’s revenue fell by 3% year-on-year to 83.5 million euros in 2025 due to difficulties at Saks Global, its major wholesale partner. However, the company has since experienced double-digit growth in direct-to-consumer sales and anticipates maintaining this momentum.
