More than a hundred years of experience and the Converse legend continues! Created in 1917 with the initial objective of creating basketball shoes, Converse was made popular by NBA player Chuck Taylor, the shoe’s namesake today. The most famous old school trainer is popular today with rockers and rebels, rappers and students. The brand has designed a collection that is modern and trendy, along with a line of bags and streetwear. For a casual, cool look in the sportswear trend, Converse is a great way to complete your wardrobe!

Leave it to American innovation for a success story! That’s what happened when the Swartz family designed the first shoe with a welded sole, and the famous yellow Timberland boot was born! It took six years before an Italian investor introduced the shoe to the European market in 1979, and they were an instant success. A legend in outdoor and work shoes, the brand has recently launched their environmentally friendly collection Earthkeepers.

The story of Clarks began long ago in the 1800’s in the sheepskin tannery of Cyrus Clark. His brother James became his associate and they created the first sheepskin slipper, the predecessor of the soft, comfy slippers everyone loves today. Clarks has a strict set of standards they adhere to, and they are always on the cutting edge of technological developments. The brand is known today for trendy urban collections of shoes and bags that are authentic yet modern.
After being inspired by the Australian shepherds who wore UGGs, surfers in the 1970s wore this now-famous brand to keep warm out of the water. But it was when Pamela Anderson wore the sheepskin boots in 2004 that UGG became a true Hollywood fashion craze with all the big stars showing off their good taste: Kate Moss, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Winslet can’t get enough of them!
