Merchant 1948’s latest collection is a tribute to our inner adventurer and the simple pleasure of exploration
If you’re craving a break from winter boots and fancy indulging in some fresh spring vibes, you’ll find much to love among Merchant 1948’s Spring Summer Wanderlust collection, in-store and online now.
It’s packed with everything from vibrant brights (think rich green and orange jewel tones) and oversized plait straps through to playful heels and embroidered beauties you’ll want to display in your home just for pure visual delight.
We’re all kinds of inspired by the boho energy of the richly embellished suede offering called Restless. This lust-worthy creation with a feature embroidered heel packs an artisanal punch and begs to transform whatever you’re wearing with a nod to the iconic ’70s era.
Say hello to chunky platforms, cork wedges, and oh-so-desirable embroidery. It won’t matter what you pair these lovelies with – your footwear will be the focal point, and justifiably so.
And if you’re craving an international jaunt this season, the next best thing is treating yourself to a Mediterranean moment with the collection inspired by espadrille wovens in crisp creams, olive greens, and buttery tans, enhanced with tortoise buckles to anchor the trend.
Wanderlust is a deliciously decadent offering, playing across an array of influences to carry you from life and sole (see what we did there) of the party through to sophisticated resort style, It Girl influence and modern grunge – taking all the most recognisable facets of the grunge aesthetic and infusing it with a modernistic twist for a craveable new genre.
To fully elevate your spring and summer presentation, take a dip into the inspired men’s offerings (Father’s Day presents the perfectly timed excuse to clad your male hero in new footwear).
Delivering freshness and creativity, which is often rare in a men’s collection, we’re particularly loving the embossed and floral Barnes boot, as well as a two-tone navy and cognac offering. How good are these looks to completely transform an otherwise ordinary men’s look into something truly memorable?
