Since Christmas 2017, we have designed 4 collections for Humphrey and Tilly. Their first collection sold out in just under two weeks! Humphrey and Tilly have both Ikat and Kilim shoe collections made for them with their name and logo printed in the sole alongside ours. Their kilim shoes have been created by cutting a collection from the same rug, making them very much exclusive to Humphrey and Tilly. Their Ikat collection was created using three different Ikat silks with contrasting trim colours.

Humphrey and Tilly are always enthusiastic for our shoes to arrive and we love working on collaborations with them.

This project is particularly close to my heart and I felt very privileged to be asked to make the university a collection in their colours. I spent some of the best years at the Royal Ag and made amazing friends who have been behind World Secrets every step of the way. Their colours are Burgundy, Gold and Black. I was a little worried when first asked, that I wouldn’t be able to source rugs in just these 3 colours. I made a trip to the workshop in Turkey solely to find the rugs, joined by my old housemate that I lived with at the Royal Ag. I knew she would be as determined as I was to find rugs in these colours and by chance we found 4!

We have printed The Royal Agricultural University’s name alongside ours in the sole. The University also commissioned us to make Dustbags for the shoes, with the Royal Ag shield on.

The shoes have been made for alumni as well as new / current students and are available to buy from the campus shop. I hope you love them as much as we do!
