This collaboration brings together two beloved British institutions. Both brands stand for quality and craft but at the heart of this collaboration is an engaging discord. Liberty London brings to mind nature, beauty and a refined intricacy, at odds with the tough and rebellious ethos of Dr. Martens.

However, this partnership with Dr. Martens is entirely natural - hence the Wild Nature theme that will run through the collaboration. Youth culture first started hand-painting floral

patterns on their boots in the early 1980's, before the idea even became an official DM's style.

The blending of these two brand's styles can be seen on the traditional 8-hole and 3-hole Dr. Martens boots and shoes as well as the recently introduced Kensington and desert boot styles, offering a lightweight option for the warmer months.

The collection will be exclusively available in an area curated by Dr. Martens at Liberty of London's iconic Regent Street store from 1st May 2012. From June 1st, it will also be available here on drmartens.com and from Dr. Martens own retail stores.
