For FW 2013, rag & bone has partnered with Hunter, the iconic British brand with over 150 years of boot-making expertise and recognized worldwide as the premier purveyor of Wellington boots, for an exclusive women's collection.
Combining their respective British heritage and adherence to the traditions of expert craftsmanship, the FW 2013 Hunter + rag & bone collaboration features two distinct, classic styles which elegantly balance utilitarianism with fashion-forward design.
"As English guys, we grew up being familiar with Hunter boots - I got my first pair of their wellies when I was around eight! Hunter is an extremely iconic British brand, which remains as relevant today as it did when it was founded over a century and a half ago, and we feel very proud to have the opportunity to collaborate with them. I believe the two styles we created really represent signature elements from both our brands." – Marcus Wainwright, Co-Managing Partner, rag & bone
"Hunter may be a quintessential British brand but we also always see so many women on the streets of Manhattan wearing their boots. Not only is this testament to the brand's global appeal, it resonated with us as we are British guys living in New York. We are really excited about this collaboration." – David Neville, Co-Managing Partner, rag & bone
The two handcrafted boots in the capsule collection are the Hunter rag & bone Tall and the Hunter rag & bone Short. Both styles come in Black/Army Green, Black, Army Green, Burgundy and Black/Navy.
Hunter rag & bone Tall is an equestrian-style, knee-length boot which combines traditional elements of the classic Hunter Original boot with rag & bone's signature hardware for a tailored fit.
Hunter rag & bone Short, is a shorter version which has a motorcycle boot inspired silhouette and also features rag & bone's signature hardware.
Pricing: Tall: £175, Short: £195
