April 24 is Fashion Revolution Day. It takes place on the anniversary of the 2013 Rana Plaza building collapse. On this day, organisers at Fashion Revolution encourage people to ask their favourite clothing brands “who made my clothes?” The goal is to create greater transparency in the fashion supply chain.

Since 1932, R.M. Williams has been fitting the feet of the world over, producing boots of outstanding handcrafted quality that exude authenticity and deliver comfort and classic Australian style. R.M. Williams' commitment to sourcing the world's finest leathers and premium materials - and placing them in the hands of the country's best craftspeople - ensures our boots are nothing but the best.

Behind every pair of boots is a pair of hands. 80 pairs in fact. Here, we’d like to introduce you to a few members of the R.M.Williams team, the same ones who make your boots.

“We carefully select and assess every hide for premium quality. You want to see some natural character and light. It needs to be soft and tough enough to make a pair of our iconic boots.” - Kosta, 26 years at R.M.Williams

“Clicking is a critical process as our boots are handcrafted from one piece of the finest quality leather. With a single click, our boot’s iconic and timeless design begins to take shape.” - Danny, 22 years at R.M.Williams

“Twin needle stitching gives the upper its distinctive design. It adds strength and character to the boot, and it’s the only visible line, so it needs to be extremely precise.” - Cassie, 8 years at R.M.Williams

“The craftsmen and women in this workshop feel a strong connection to the leather, which is based on a perfectly orchestrated combination of carefully run processes and great skills.” - Vanessa, 20 years at RMW
