Timberland returns for the turning of seasons with their latest capsule - the Indigo Suede Icons collection. At the forefront of the collection is a new spin on their iconic 3-eye Lug shoe, in collaboration with renowned English & Leeds based tannery Charles F Stead, featuring fully waterproof deep indigo suede uppers with a soft finish.
The collaboration between Timberland and esteemed English tannery Charles F Stead for the Indigo Suede Icons Collection guarantees the crafting of top-tier leathers and suedes for these iconic designs. With roots tracing back to the late 1800s, C.F Stead has remained dedicated to environmental sustainability in the leather sector. As an enduring participant in the Leather Working Group (LWG), the company undergoes thorough environmental assessments every 18 months, upholding the most stringent criteria.
Even amidst the meticulous process involved in suede manufacturing, Charles F. Stead consistently pushes boundaries in aspects like water and energy conservation. Pioneering the Eco-Buck tannage, the company leads in sustainable leather production, employing metal-free tanning methods and utilising biodegradable materials sourced from locally raised grass-fed livestock. Adhering to rigorous UK standards, Charles F. Stead upholds responsible tannery practices through continuous monitoring of wastewater discharge. With a commitment to offering renewable, sustainable, and enduring suedes, the company places emphasis on longevity, adaptability, and timeless sophistication, eschewing the transient nature of fast fashion trends.
Formulated to withstand the test of time and mature elegantly, the indigo suede, emblematic of C.F. Stead's dedication to superior materials and time-honoured methods, marries perfectly with Timberland's rich New England legacy. Blending the robust rubber lug sole of the brand's Original Yellow Boot with a moccasin upper, this classic design epitomises durability and style featuring waterproof suede uppers, leather inside linings & an anti-fatigue removable footbed.
