History
The company traces its origins to 1856 and has kept the name of its founder. A brand of this age sits in a particular niche of the market: its customers are often looking for fit and comfort in a traditional shoe, rather than for fast-changing fashion.
Why it matters
Ganter shows how a nineteenth-century German shoemaker has remained a recognisable brand by concentrating on comfort, material quality and a consistent classic look across footwear and small leather accessories.
