Dr. Martens and MHL. by Margaret Howell's New Drop Is a Minimalist Dream
The perfect debut collaboration.
For the girls who live in oversized tailoring, crisp linens and understated styles, your dream footwear drop has officially arrived. MHL. by Margaret Howell has joined forces with with British icon Dr. Martens for the first time to give the timeless 1461 derby shoe a utilitarian makeover. Celebrating 65 years of workwear heritage, this debut capsule seamlessly fuses counterculture and grit with Margaret Howell’s signature minimalist luxury.
Handcrafted at Dr. Martens’ factory in Northamptonshire, these are not just your average lace-ups. The brands have elevated the silhouette using chrome-free grained oiled leather from Leeds-based tannery C.F. Stead. Arriving in ultra-chic black and dark brown, the leather features a soft matte finish that is designed to develop a gorgeous, natural patina over time.
A plush padded heel collar and a leather heel tab are inspired by vintage workers’ shoes, while flat, unwaxed cotton laces give the classic silhouette a clean girl-approved look.
This collaboration is the perfect lesson in quiet luxury. Whether you style them for the office or a weekend hangout, these derbies will instantly anchor any outfit with effortless poise.
The Dr. Martens x MHL. 1461 collection will be available to purchase worldwide starting July 16 on the Margaret Howell and Dr. Martens websites.
