Made with Hainsworth wool, Clarks Originals’ new Wallabee shoes showcase the finest in British craftsmanship.
At Hainsworth Signature Fabrics, we manufacture woollen fabrics—from raw fibre to finished cloth—entirely at our mill in West Yorkshire. For their latest iconic Wallabee shoe, we supplied our soft Pilot fabric to Clarks in two colours: camel and navy.
“It’s always an honour when brands and designers choose our fabrics, but it’s extra special to collaborate with other heritage brands that hold a special place in history. Like Hainsworth Speciality Fabrics, Clarks Originals Wallabees represent the look of iconic England. In addition to working with Clarks, we have many other exciting partnerships in the pipeline, which include our fabrics being featured on national television and in several West End theatre productions.”
Amanda McLaren, Managing Director
Clarks’ Wallabee shoes have a history dating back to 1967 and have become a timeless footwear style with a global following spanning generations and cultures.
“Our Wallabee returns in soft camel and navy Pilot Cloth, wool courtesy of 240-year-old British textile mill, Hainsworth. A tactile, cosy addition to our new-season line-up, this pair honours Wallabee DNA with its classic crepe soles and waxy laces. We’ve topped it with three leather logo fobs, calling attention to Originals and Hainsworth in a celebration of design heritage.”
Clarks
In 2012, we partnered with Clarks to supply striking red fabric for a special edition of their classic Desert Boot, inspired by the Beatles’ 1967 album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Designers, tailors, and garment manufacturers choose Hainsworth Signature Fabrics for our premium woollen textiles across diverse industries, all united in their pursuit of exceptional craftsmanship and true British provenance.
