Under the creative leadership of Daniel Lee, Burberry has made a resounding commitment to celebrating its British heritage, embracing both the contemporary and the traditional. In its latest collaboration, the focus leans towards the latter.
Burberry has partnered with Tricker’s to introduce a range of «traditionally crafted footwear» as part of its Winter 2023 shoe collection.
Tricker’s, founded in 1829, stands as England’s oldest operating shoemaker, with every pair of boots and shoes meticulously handcrafted at its Northampton factory, the epicenter of traditional English shoemaking.
This latest collection is a collaborative effort between Burberry and Tricker’s, building upon a legacy of craftsmanship and expertise. It finely refines Burberry’s signature shoe designs to harmonize with the creative vision of the Burberry AW23 collection, marking Daniel Lee’s debut for the brand.
So, what does this collection entail? It draws inspiration from Tricker’s original country footwear, featuring a diverse range of styles, including brogues, Chelsea boots, and Derby shoes, available in an array of colors and fabrics. From classic black, vine, and aubergine calf leather to the warm elegance of camel suede, there’s something for every taste.
In response to growing sustainability concerns, Burberry emphasizes that the soles and uppers have been traditionally stitched to welted leather insoles. This meticulous craftsmanship ensures that each piece can be repaired and refurbished, promising years of wear, all while adhering to eco-friendly practices.
To complement the modern, active lifestyle, all the footwear in this collection features a signature rubber sole designed for outdoor adventures.
This partnership between the two esteemed brands is a natural fit, as Burberry highlights, «Tricker’s heritage shares numerous parallels with Burberry, with both brands having a history of outfitting pioneering explorers.»
