Founded in 1925 by the grandfather of current creative directors Pedro and Mila García, Pedro García has spent a century redefining the landscape of luxury footwear. This family-run brand, proudly “Made in Spain”, has built its legacy on a commitment to artisanal excellence, sustainable craftsmanship, and timeless design.
Now in its third generation – with the fourth recently joining the fold – siblings Pedro and Mila García reflect on the brand’s enduring journey: “Our father grew the company and laid the foundation for what we are today. We now represent the third generation at the helm, and the new energy brought by the fourth generation allows us to continue this legacy with the same passion and dedication.”
A Legacy Honoured: The Essentia Collection at Selfridges
To mark this milestone, Pedro García has unveiled the Essentia Collection, a UK-exclusive at Selfridges that encapsulates the essence of the brand’s refined heritage and future-forward ethos.
Each piece in the collection is meticulously handcrafted in the brand’s own factory in Spain, using the finest materials: vegetable-tanned vacchetta leather, hand-braided silk satin, ethically sourced mother-of-pearl, and Swarovski crystals – marking 25 years of collaboration with the crystal house.
This collection is a masterclass in sustainable luxury and minimalist sophistication, honouring the brand’s origins while embracing modern elegance.
