Footwear and clothing company R.M. Williams will open its first outlet store in the UK at York Designer Outlet.
The iconic Australian brand will open its Outlet doors from tomorrow, Thursday 25 June.
Guests will be able to browse and explore the brand’s collection of handcrafted boots, belts, apparel, accessories and lifestyle pieces.
Founded in 1932, R.M.Williams was founded from a call for hard-wearing, timeless products capable of withstanding the harsh conditions of the Australian outback, without compromising on style.
What began with a single pair of boots designed for stockmen has evolved into a global brand, yet craftsmanship remains at its core. The brand’s iconic leather boots and belts are still made by hand in Adelaide, South Australia, with every pair of boots crafted from a single piece of leather using techniques refined over more than 90 years, alongside an ever-expanding range of apparel, accessories and lifestyle pieces.
Paul Tyler, centre manager at Designer Outlet York, said: “We are delighted to welcome R.M.Williams to Designer Outlet York, and especially proud that the centre has been chosen as the location for the brand’s first outlet store in the UK.
“R.M.Williams is a globally recognised name with an exceptional heritage, and its arrival further strengthens our premium retail offer for guests from York, Yorkshire and beyond.”
Karl Wederell, general manager Europe at R.M.Williams, said: “Designer Outlet York is an exciting location for our first UK outlet store, giving more customers the opportunity to discover the craftsmanship, durability and timeless style that have defined R.M.Williams for more than 90 years.”
