A renowned brand across the world, Arrow is known for its sophisticated and excellent quality apparel and footwear. Following a stroke of genius by a housewife, Hannah Montague in 1820, Ebenezer Brown recognised the possibilities in the detachable collar industry and began manufacturing collars in the back of his general store in Troy, NY. This little spark of ingenuity led to the introduction of the Arrow brand in 1885 as a pioneer in men’s fashion.

Samson & Sons Ltd. serves as the sole distributor of a number of local footwear brands including, DSI, Ranpa, Samsons, Supersport, Beat, Beach, Petalz, Fun Souls, Tamik, Waves, Jessica and AVI as well as popular international brands such as, Clarks, Redtape, Florsheim, Reebok, Puma, Fila, U.S Polo, Arrow, W and Aurelia.
