As someone who spends her days curating and celebrating homegrown British talent, Rachel already has an incredible eye for craftsmanship, making it a real pleasure to design a pair of custom Chelsea boots specifically for her.

Rachel is the owner of .gwyllt, just a few doors up from RED, where she curates a beautiful collection of British-made clothing, accessories and gifts by female designers. Our values around quality and small scale production feel very much aligned.

For our June edition of Walks in RED, we pay Rachel a visit at her shop to hear more about her business, her passion for supporting independent makers, and how she's settling into her new boots ✨💖

Look out for the story in our next newsletter!

We offer a wide range of beautiful suedes in bright shades, an endless possibility of colours to match your style and personality 🌈

We’d love to hear what you think of this fabulous pair!

She’s also the only other person in the world licensed to make Shandals!

We can’t wait to share more of these bespoke Chelsea boots with you soon!
