Barker Black Slippers and Shoes for Spring/Summer 2011

More from the Barker Black range. We thought it was high time for a full look at the Spring 2011 collection of slippers from this English line. Sure, we have skulls, death and glory as telltale mottos for the line. The good thing is that these symbols and phrases are serious. Wear if you believe.

England’s Barker Black delivers a pair of brown velvet slippers that feature hand embroidered logos on the toe – no two pairs are exactly the same. While the world is chilling in the Wings and Yuketens, you can be giving workwear a big middle finger with a pair of these. Killer.

barker black losangeles shop 7 Barker Black Boutique Opens in Los Angeles

Barker Black expands their U.S. presence to the West Coast with a new shop in Los Angeles. The brand, established in 1880 is beyond heritage at this point. “Barker Black shoes are created by a team of specialized craftsmen, many of whom have been working with the brand for more than 20 years. The designs, made from the finest Italian and French calf, are left on the last for 15 to 30 days, during which time the shoes are placed in a wire frame and suspended from rafters above the factory, giving each pair extended time to retain its beautiful, one-of-a-kind shape.”

Their new L.A. shop extends the brand’s presence with a destination shop that helps express the brand’s history and reach. Man, you cannot beat that old school skull and crossbones look. Find them at: 450 North Robertson Blvd.

Barker Black

barker black

Founded in England in 1880, Barker Black has been revived by two brother not too long ago. Now they present a modern alternative to Men’s shoes and accessories. You just have to love their shoes. Outstanding quality of leathers, sole and remarkable attention to detail. Also their unconventional skull and bones logo is a nice contrast to the other classic English shoe makers.

There is a break in the tradition concerning image and brand equity, at the same time they present super classic footwear, sometimes with a twist. You have to check out their collection here.

Too many nice shoes to name our favorite, but the Velvet Slipper is in the top 5!
