2009 Hunter Festival Wellingtons

In 2008 we saw the launch of the Hunter Festival Boots, designed with the British muddy festival-goers in mind. From Chelsea to Glastonbury, from pruner to pop star, this colourful, fun collection brightened the wettest of days.

The demand and popularity of the Hunter Festival last summer saw retailers across the UK sell out before the summer was even over. This year Hunter have launched an exclusive Limited Edition Festival Welly.

The New 2009 Festival boot is available in two super chic colours Aqua/Silver or Black and comes in either a tall or short version.

It has all the usual features of a Hunter wellington with an extra Hot style! Metal work rivets and rings compliment the trendy lace up front, and strap detailing finishes off a welly masterpiece.

But be warned this Welly is not for the faint hearted and you will stand out from the crowd at any of the Festivals.





If you find these boots a little too daring you may like the Original Hunter range. They come in almost any colour you can think of from Gold to Green and with an affordable price tag.

The area we live and work from:

At the time of Shakespeare's birth Stratford-upon-Avon was a prosperous market town with a population of around 2,000. This peaceful and uneventful environment was soon to be disrupted by the Plague that claimed about 250 victims among the Stratford folk. Towards the end of the 16th century the town's economic prosperity declined with the crisis of the wool trade and this was the first of a whole series of adverse circumstances that was to alter the hitherto peaceful existence of the town.

Again, towards the end of the 16th century, and precisely 22 September 1594, a fire destroyed many of the timber-framed houses in High Street, Chapel Street and Henley Street. Many of the houses between Bridge Street and Sheep Street suffered a similar fate the following year. In 1612 a third fire broke out destroying more than 50 other buildings. Yet another fire in 1641 destroyed much of Bridge Street.

Although it is generally thought that the Falcon in Chapel Street dates back to around the year 1500 the similarities between the close-studding of its lower sections and that of other buildings rebuilt after the fires in the last decade of the 16th century tend to indicate a later date.

Hunter Wellingtons Boots and Country Life

"A Symbol of British Country Life"

The Hunter Story is a symbol of British country life that has graced catwalks from New York, Paris, Milan to London. They remain the preferred welly brand from the Royal Family to festival-goers like Kate Moss, working farmers and landed gentry alike.

We can thank Mr Henry Lee Norris, an American entrepreneur, who in 1856 landed on Scottish soil in search of a home for his boot making company. That September after having acquired a block of buildings in Edinburgh, known as the Castle Silk Mills, the North British Rubber Company was registered as a limited liability company with only four members of staff.

Popularity of the wellington boots was growing by 1875 the team had grown to 600 members of staff. Production of wellington boots was dramatically boosted again with the advent of World War I when the company was asked by the War Office to construct a sturdy boot suitable for the conditions in flooded trenches. In total, 1,185,036 pairs were made to cope with the Army's demands. This fashionable boot was now a functional necessity.

At the outbreak of World War II in September, 80% of the North British Rubber Company's production was for war materials - from ground sheets to life belts and gas masks. By the end of the war due to rationing labourers began to wear the rubber boots for everyday work the Wellington had become popular among men and women for use in wet weather. This lead to the birth of Hunter's most famous welly, the Original Green Wellington, made over 50 years ago in the winter of 1955.

By the 1980's a pair of Hunter Originals worn by Lady Diana Spencer in her engagement photographs, sparks a fashion spurge. Hunters were to become an essential item for those guided in upmarket country fashion. They were now synonymous with the much caricatured figures of The Sloane Ranger Handbook.

To date Hunters have expanded the Originals colour pallet, you can buy Silver, Gold, White, Midnight Sparkle and Black to just name a few. This summer will see the launch of the Hunter Limited Edition Festival range and the new Balmoral range.
