The Clarks Originals icons “Wallabee”, “Wallabee Boot” and “Desert Trek” have been reimagined with colors and materials inspired by the natural beauty of Somerset. The soft premium suede and intricately woven raffia are inspired by Somerset’s basket weaving tradition and festival colors, reflecting the region’s craftsmanship and pioneering spirit. Meanwhile, a rich palette of earth tones seamlessly connects these icons’ timeless designs with the terrain surrounding Street, the historic town where Clarks has been based since 1825. Clarks is rolling out the Somerset Pack from Clarks’ new icon “Torhill” collection. Inspired by the brand’s archive designs, the Torhill follows the classic Wallabee shape, but gives it a modern twist with a chunky gripper sole. This contemporary design features playful shades inspired by Somerset, including apple green, coral and golden tan suede. As part of Clarks’ 200th Anniversary celebration, both Clarks and Clarks Originals Somerset Pack shoes will feature a special commemorative fob attached to the laces to commemorate this historic milestone. For 200 years, Clarks has set the standard in shoemaking. And this is just the beginning. In 2025, we celebrate our past and present and proudly mark our history of innovation and impact as we move into a new 200 years. Our mission remains the same – to continue creating a future where everyone can walk comfortably. We will continue to move forward without stopping. And when we look back another 200 years from now, we hope that Clarks will continue to be at the heart of footwear, fashion and innovation. 200th anniversary official website
