Founder Story

Some legacies are inherited.
Others are rebuilt.

Agraton & Co. was founded in 2026 by a brother and sister with one mission: to bring their family’s passion for shoemaking back to life.

In the early 1990’s, our father owned a men’s formal leather shoe factory in Agra, India-one of the world’s most renowned cities for leather craftsmanship. His work was built on quality, dedication, and pride. But in 1996, due to personal circumstances, he was forced to close the factory, bringing our family’s journey in footwear to an unexpected end.

For the next 30 years, that legacy remained a cherished memory.

Then, in 2026, from Edmonton, Alberta, my sister and I decided it was time to continue what our father had started. Agraton & Co. was born-not simply as shoe brand, but as tribute to a family’s heritage and the craftsmanship that shaped our roots.

Today, we combine generation of shoemaking inspiration with modern design to create premium footwear that reflects timeless style, exceptional quality, and lasting comfort.

Agraton & Co. is more than a business. It’s the revival of a family legacy, carried across continents and generations-from the leather workshops of Agra to the streets of Edmonton, 30 years later.
