From Australian beaches to the UK
FASHION footwear, handbags and accessories from the beaches of Australia are being brought to the UK by Holster.
From its beachfront base in Queensland, the company combines contemporary design, traditional materials and hand crafting to offer a wide range of sandals, boots, belts, necklaces and cuffs.
Inspiration for the collection is taken from the natural world with traditional materials used including leather, mother-of-pearl, shells, crystal, resin, wood and coconut shell.
Company Director, Melanie Rollinson, said: “We have had an extremely positive reaction in the UK from consumers and retailers alike.
“Our strongest line this year has been the range of jelly shoes, followed by the more expensive quality leather sandals and we expect this to be the case next season as well.
“The accessories range is also doing well, although the Coco Stretch Belt has without a doubt been the most popular.
“It reached the final five shortlist in the Fashion Accessories Gift of the Year UK Awards and we have already been receiving re-orders from accounts opened just a few months ago.”
Selfridges and Fenwicks department stores have now taken on the Holster range and celebrities including Kristy Hinze, Sophie Monk and the Duchess of Kent have all been spotted wearing the brand.
Melanie added: “More recently we have added a line of sheepskin boots which we are very excited about, we think it is going to be a line that will do very well for Holster in the future.
“We were quite late bringing it in for the AW season this year, but we still got a lot of interest from smaller shops in particular that had not completed their winter buying.
“The feedback so far has been brilliant and people have been very enthusiastic about the styles and quality, so we are sure it will be even more successful next year.”
