Formed in 1863 Karrington was founded by a group of British businessmen whom planned to expand from Britain to America. The first store in America was founded in New York on the 10th November, it was a Tailors run by three businessmen Michael Draman, Frank Jones and Joseph King. The store was named Karrington Tailors and became a huge success over its first year, as it offered many British visitors/dignitaries a taste of home. The store still stands today in Brooklyn, the architecture not being changed since being built. Michael Draman was appointed as Director for Karrington in America and managed the Brooklyn store; whilst Draman was busy running the tailors the other two businessmen Frank Jones and Joseph King started a venture of their own. Jones and King opened a Jewellers in New York City the store however wasn't as successful as the Tailors however remained profitable and began to gain a reputation as one of the finest Jewellers in America being the only Jewellers to stock Pembroke Gold . Jones King and Draman created the Karrington Group in 1932 to better manage finances between both companies during the Great Depression.

Over the next 150 years Karrington continued to be profitable, it had by then opened 10 new stores in America and 4 in Britain. The business was passed down from father to son with the eldest child replacing their predecesor as the managing director for their family. Karrington is currently owned by John Draman, Holly Jones, and Gerald King.

This brings us to where we are today, Karrington has recently opened a store in ones of America's fasting growing cities, Evocity. With the store found in the v33x District it is one of Evocities' most new and upmarket stores attracting many of Evocities' elite to purchase there. This has given Karrington a large amount of influence in the city, allowing them to secure a great foothold in the local economy.
