Kurt Geiger is a luxury British footwear and accessories brand. Kurt Geiger has around 70 stores, and multiple concessions within department stores, including Harrods and Selfridges. Kurt Geiger owns three brands: Kurt Geiger London, KG Kurt Geiger and Carvela, created by its in-house team.[2]
The Kurt Geiger headquarters is located on Britton Street, Clerkenwell, London. The building, originally dating from the 1970s, was remodelled in 2009 by Archer Architects and is finished in a distinctive red, described as Pompean Red.[3]
Kurt Geiger launched the Kindness Foundation in September 2022, a charity dedicated to giving young people the resources needed to enter creative industries. The main goal of the charity is to make creative roles more accessible for young individuals, particularly those from marginalised communities. [4]
