WALSH X UNIVERSAL WORKS | A LITTLE CLOSER TO HOME.

Universal Works has friends and partners all over the world, but for our latest collaboration we headed a little closer to home, to Bolton and the factory of British footwear maker Walsh.

It is a part of the country we know well. We are based down the road in Nottingham, while our Co-Founder Stephanie grew up nearby in Rochdale.

We first worked with Walsh several years ago. Returning to the factory this time, things felt different; “It felt like something had been reawakened,” says David, UW’s other Co-Founder. “There was a new energy about the place. It felt alive and hopeful.”

Together, we have revisited three classic Walsh styles, each in three colourways: the Ensign, Tornado and Cobra (renamed the Cob, after the Nottingham term for a bread roll), taking something from the past and giving it a contemporary Universal Works feel.

Made for Bolton, Nottingham, Tokyo, London, or wherever you call home.
