The Signature Desert has been with us from the very beginning — part of our original line-up in 2013, and still going strong. The styling is timeless: a clean two-eyelet front, a low-cut collar that sits neatly at the ankle, and a contrast welt stitch line running the full length of the sole edge, with the uppers resting on tonal outsoles that ground the whole look.
You can choose from our Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials) or Italian vegan nubuck (100% PU) — one of the finest vegan suedes you can get — the vegan leather crisp and smart, the vegan nubuck soft with a nap that catches the light beautifully. It comes in a soft grey, a versatile black and a warm dark brown, so there's a pair for whichever end of your wardrobe needs it.
They have a satisfying weight to them, and they're comfortable through a full day — the single sheet of flexible TR underfoot moves with you, the cushioned insole keeps things soft, and the padded collar sits easy at the ankle. The grippy base handles a variety of surfaces and is tough enough to withstand years of use.
And that's where these earn their place in the line-up year after year: they go with almost everything. Desert boots have that rare knack of sharpening up casual clothes and relaxing smart ones — worn with tailored trousers and an overcoat through the week, or with straight and wide-leg jeans and a chunky knit at the weekend. They sit just as happily under a midi dress or a skirt with tights, adding a bit of easy, low-key structure where a heel would feel like too much — the kind of boot that quietly finishes an outfit rather than announcing itself.

- Lining
- Portuguese vegan suede (100% PU) – soft and comfortable against the foot, with a breathable suede texture that helps keep feet fresh

Best kept for dry days, and treat with a waterproofing spray if you want some protection.

Comfortable shoe for a city walk and pairs well with a professional look
JUST PERFECT
I have bought another pair of these shoes because I love them (unfortunately lost my first pair). Comfy, smart and sturdy.
Beautiful and hard-wearing. I am delighted with them
I bought my usual size. They fit in terms of length, but once I took them outside and walked they started rubbing around the pinky area since they are narrow at the front. The craftsmanship is exceptional, but the sizing of this brand is all over the place. Lost my money.
