Manolo Blahnik has opened a new boutique inside Harrods' Shoe Heaven in London, replacing the shop-in-shop the footwear label first installed at the Knightsbridge department store in 2014.

The boutique sits within the 42,000-square-foot fine footwear floor on Harrods' fifth floor. It stocks the fall 2026 collection alongside archive styles including the Maysale, first created for designer Isaac Mizrahi in 1991, and the satin and crystal-embellished Nadira and Hangisi models.

The store's centerpiece is a gallery of 300 ink sketches by Manolo Blahnik, designed exclusively for the space and modeled on the "Palette Room" within the brand's digital archives. A recreation of the designer's desk, with his personal artifacts, is also on display.

CEO Kristina Blahnik called 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," she said in a statement. "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."

The opening extends a retail expansion program the company outlined in August alongside full-year results. Revenue fell 3 percent to 83.5 million euros in 2025, a decline the brand attributed chiefly to difficulties at wholesale partner Saks Global. Direct-to-consumer sales, however, were already showing double-digit growth year over year, according to the CEO.

"We see real momentum building and have every confidence in the year ahead," Kristina Blahnik said at the time.

Manolo Blahnik operated 24 stores as of August — 14 directly run flagships and 10 franchise locations. New boutiques opened in Miami, Milan and Costa Mesa, California in 2025, followed by Beijing in January 2026 as part of the company's push into what it calls high-growth markets.

The CEO, who spoke at the WWD x FN x Beauty Inc. Women in Power event in September, said the company plans decades ahead rather than in short cycles.

"We're planning for beyond my lifetime, and that's why we have a rather abstract concept of having a 500-year plan," she said. "There's a five-year plan, you never get that right anyway, so you might as well go for 500 and plan for that."

Manolo Blahnik previously brought its men's collection to Harrods' second floor in 2023 through a dedicated pop-up. The new Shoe Heaven boutique replaces the original 2014 space.
