Under the care and attention of Walter Martiny
in 1911, the Superga factory began to produce shoes with vulcanised rubber soles. It was here, in Turin, Italy, that the Classic Superga 2750 style was born. The 2750 became established as “the People's Shoe of Italy”, and Superga increased its product line with technical sport shoes, rubber rain boots and a growing range of colours and styles. Taking you from the city to the beach, from the office to the bar, the stylish and comfortable Superga shoe has no boundaries and is a wardrobe staple. Over the years, the world’s most influential designers and names have reinterpreted the 2750 style with exclusive collaborations. For AW19 Superga will launch its new collection with Alexa Chung, as well as a host of new colours, animal prints, fluoro colourways, Sport Luxe trainers for women, and corduroy and military styles for men.
Sarah Watkinson-Yull started Yull in 2011 whilst
at university in London. Yull received funding from the Prince's Trust to set up manufacturing for high heels in the UK and is one of the only independent shoe brands manufacturing high heels in Britain. Boasting city chic mid-heels, cocktail bar ready stilettos, weekend getaway boots, high, long and short, Yull offers unique classic designs with a twist and stands out from the crowd but also stands the test of time.
DB Shoes is a British company which was
established in 1920 and is the longest established polyurethane injection moulding shoe factory in
the world specialising in making wide and deep fitting shoes which are both stylish in appearance whilst offering the ultimate in comfort and fit. The vast majority of styles have removable insoles to allow for increased depth or to allow the insertion of orthotic devices.
London Brogues is a UK family business
creating affordable, high-quality leather shoes and boots for men in a variety of colours and styles. The smart and casual footwear embodies sophistication and brings true British style to life.
and with a little creative direction from the original designer, the collection has most definitely held onto its '76 soul.
Tilley and Grace return with lots of exciting
new accessories as well as their best-selling 30% cashmere Georgia Pashmina in new colourway, the Tilley Poncho and a fabulous new Kim necklace in silver which has matching earrings.

The majority of designs are made by hand, right down to base components that are hand-sanded and painted before being assembled into bracelets and necklaces.
