Q&A
Q: Tell us about some of your latest product ranges? Marc Querol: Our next Autumn-Winter 2025 collection, Odyssey, is a standout range that explores the relationship between tradition and modernity. Inspired by the idea of journey and connection, it blends premium materials with cutting-edge design techniques. The collection’s key highlights include artisan- finished textured leathers, providing a tactile and handcrafted feel, and rich, structured textiles such as jeans felt and merino wool, offering durability and comfort. Plus, there’s a nature-inspired colour palette, featuring deep browns, rich burgundies, and earthy khakis, balanced with timeless blues and greys. Hybrid constructions, fusing sneaker comfort with the sophistication of dress shoes – one of our most sought-after design directions. With this collection, we are redefining the
balance between heritage and innovation, ensuring our designs remain relevant, functional and distinctive.
Q: How is your brand growing in the UK market? What are your aims and objectives for the year ahead? MQ: The UK is a key market for Ambitious, after being successful in Italy, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands. In 2025 – after our new partnership with Double H Agency and our Ireland Sales Agent, Colm Sheeshy – our focus is on expanding our presence and deepening connections with UK and Irish retailers and consumers, through a strategy developed between Ambitious and Double H Agency. Our key objectives include strengthening our retail partnerships. We aim to expand our
footprint in premium multi-brand retailers and department stores across the UK, ensuring Ambitious is positioned in key fashion hubs. Also, we would like to expand our women’s line, introducing our newly-launched women’s collection to UK buyers and consumers this year and next, and diversifying our offering in the market. With a mix of strategic retail expansion, digital marketing, and brand storytelling, we aim to solidify Ambitious as a go-to brand for contemporary, high quality footwear in the UK.
Q: Do you have any new product launches coming soon that you can tell us about? MQ: Our team is working on exciting new developments for both men and women, with a strong focus on innovation, materials and textures that set us apart. Differentiation remains at the core of our approach, ensuring that each new launch brings something fresh and distinctive to the market. Retailers can stay up-to-date with these upcoming releases through our UK team at Double H Agency, which will provide ongoing updates and insights into our latest collections.
