Clarks has opened a new Originals store in the building where the company was founded almost 200 years ago.

The footwear retailer will be using the shop to sell  classic styles such as the Desert Boot and Wallabee as well as a range of new season options.

The second standalone Originals store in the UK, it will also celebrate the history and roots of the Clarks Originals brand. This will include showcasing archival shoe fobs, explaining how signature styles are constructed, and the display of Al Fingers’ Clarks in Jamaica book (One Love Books), which marks the long-standing connection between Clarks Originals and Jamaica’s culture.

Shoes from the brand’s collaborations will also be stocked, including the recent 80s-inspired Clarks Originals x Levi’s Vintage collection and shoes from Clarks’ longstanding partnership with streetwear brand Supreme.
