Manolo Blahnik is back at Harrods with a new boutique at the retailer’s Knightsbridge flagship in London.
Located within Harrods’ fifth floor “Shoe Heaven,” a 42,000 square-foot space dedicated to fine footwear, the new boutique debuts with the brand’s fall 2026 collection, with creations inspired by diverse themes ranging from London’s swinging ‘60s, to the Scottish Lowlands to the rich hues of ornate Italian castles.
Fans of the brand will also find Manolo Blahnik classics such as the Maysale, originally created for fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi in 1991, as well as the satin and crystal-embellished Nadira and Hangisi styles.
The new shop celebrates Manolo Blahnik’s bold use of color with an immersive gallery of the designer’s sketches. This includes 300 unique ink drawings of Mr. Blahnik’s footwear creations, which is an exclusive design for the Harrods boutique. The gallery is also a nod to the “Palette Room” within the Manolo Blahnik Archives — the brand’s virtual space of archival sketches. What’s more, the space also features a display of Mr. Blahnik’s desk, adorned with his personal artifacts.
Kristina Blahnik, chief executive officer of Manolo Blahnik, described Harrods in a statement as 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,” Blahnik said. “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 comes a few weeks after Blahnik spoke at the 2026 WWD x FN x Beauty Inc. Women in Power event. The CEO was on hand to participate in a conversation called “Honoring a Rich Legacy & Shaping What’s Next” at the September occasion.
“We’re planning for beyond my lifetime, and that’s why we have a rather abstract concept of having a 500-year plan,” Blahnik explained at the event. “There’s a five-year plan, you never get that right anyway, so you might as well go for 500 and plan for that.”
In its most recent earnings report in August, Manolo Blahnik reported a “challenging” 2025 with overall revenues of 83.5 million euros, down 3 percent year-over-year at reported rates, and down 1 percent at constant currency, dented chiefly by the troubles at its major wholesale partner, Saks Global.
But the current year is shaping up to be buoyant, the CEO said in August, with direct-to-consumer trading already showing double-digit growth year-over-year. “We see real momentum building and have every confidence in the year ahead,” said Blahnik.

The company added that it continues to invest for the “longer term,” which means more standalone stores in markets worldwide.
At the time of its earnings release in August, the brand said it had 24 stores, 14 of which are directly operated flagships, with the remaining 10 overseen by franchise partners. In 2025, new boutiques opened in Miami, Milan and Costa Mesa, Calif. Beijing opened in January 2026, part of the company’s focus on “retail expansion in high-growth markets.”
As for its partnership with Harrods, Manolo Blahnik first debuted in the retailer’s Shoe Heaven with its own boutique in 2014. This new space replaces the prior shop.
In 2023, the company brought its men’s collection to the London flagship’s second floor with a dedicated pop-up for the category.
