Inspired by Clarks' incredibly-vast archive, the collection brings a contemporary take on its most classic styles.  Clarks has been manufacturing Goodyear Welted shoes since the 1940s. Shown above are the Watlington and Saddle, the two styles selected and re-invented for the new collection.  The Watlington is a twist on the classic brogue and the Saddle was a style that was worn by Queen Elizabeth during a tour of South Africa in 1967.

While using the highest quality materials, including premium leathers, the collection will come with a higher price too over the rest, at £295 per pair.   

But you would appreciate it that in the heart of this exclusive capsule collection, designed and made in England, is the time-honoured shoemaker’s art that involves over 160 separate steps and takes eight weeks to complete.  

Available from July 2015, Clarks has created 90 pairs per line. The collection includes five colour-ways across two styles.
