Our legacy
Kings Traders
Our legacy Since the 1960s
Our Heritage
For over six decades, Kings Traders has been synonymous with quality, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. What began as a purveyor of the finest international menswear has evolved into a destination for discerning gentlemen who appreciate the marriage of tradition and innovation.
The Golden Era: 1970s & 1980s
Our journey began with an unwavering commitment to quality. We introduced the gentleman of the 70s and 80s to the world's most distinguished clothing lines, carefully curated from the fashion capitals of the world.
Traditional American shirts from Jason brought casual sophistication, while English Panache offered refined elegance. Japanese craftsmanship shone through Eagle Earth, and Italian nights were dressed in the luxury of Luvisca suits. We completed the wardrobe with premium European and Japanese fine suitings, English cardigans, and textile ranges that defined an era of classic menswear.
The Art of Expression: Writing Instruments
While clothing trends may fade, the art of writing remains eternal. We became the region's premier destination for the world's most prestigious writing instruments, making the expression 'old school' synonymous with personal touch and character.
From the legendary Mont Blanc to the precision of Japanese Sailor pens, from Italian Montegrappa to the classics of Sheaffer, Cross, and Parker, our collection represented more than mere instruments—they were statements of personality and purpose. Today, writing instruments remain our cornerstone offering, with our collection evolving daily to include new models from beloved brands.
Innovation Meets Tradition: 2017
In 2017, we revolutionized the concept of custom footwear by introducing handcrafted shoes with a modern twist. Our interactive design interface brings the atelier to your fingertips, allowing you to create shoes from the comfort of your home—designs that are uniquely yours and exist nowhere else in the world.
From classic Oxfords and elegant loafers to hybrid monkstraps, from sneaker head favorites to contemporary laceless charms, every pair is a testament to your personal style and our commitment to craftsmanship. You don't just own our shoes—you own the design itself.
Design Your Perfect Pair
Our interactive platform empowers you to be the designer. Choose materials, colors, details, and finishing touches to create footwear that reflects your individuality. Each pair is handcrafted to your specifications, ensuring that your shoes are as unique as you are.
Contemporary Excellence: Recent Years
Our commitment to bringing the world's finest to our customers continues. Two years ago, we introduced the world-renowned 100 Hands shirt brand, celebrated globally for exceptional quality and fit. Each piece represents the pinnacle of shirt-making artistry, deserving of its own dedicated section on our website.
Most recently, we've unveiled "The Perennial Cardigan"—a modern essential crafted from weighted silk and cotton blends. Designed to hug the upper body with gentle precision, this evergreen piece transcends seasons and trends, embodying our philosophy that true style is timeless.
Sixty Years of Uncompromising Quality
At Kings Traders, quality is not a feature—it is our foundation. For over six decades, we have refused to compromise on excellence. Every product we offer, from a fountain pen to a custom shoe, from a handcrafted shirt to a timeless cardigan, undergoes rigorous selection and meets our exacting standards.
This commitment has been passed down through generations, refined by experience, and strengthened by our relationships with the world's finest craftsmen and manufacturers. It is why families trust us across generations, why gentlemen return to us decade after decade, and why our name has become synonymous with reliability and distinction.
As we look to the future, our mission remains unchanged: to provide the modern gentleman with products of exceptional quality, timeless style, and personal significance. The next decade—and the ones that follow—will see us continuing this tradition while embracing innovation that enhances, rather than replaces, the values we hold dear.
