POST TUTORIAL DEVELOPMENT
FOCUSING ON THE IDENTITY OF THE ORIGINAL BOOT:
Doc Martens are utilitarian. They were made for a use. A practical tab at the back to pull them on. Secure eyelets with strong laces. Steel toecaps to protect toes and hard wearing leather so that boots are long lasting. Waterproof . Yellow stitching isn't just decorative but is used to BIND the upper to the sole. Rubber bottoms provide a comfort and durability. air cushioned sole is better for the foot and comfortable enough to wear all day everyday. heavy canvas and leather are both hardwearing and practical.
CONSIDER: I have highlighted words that to me , have become a focus as we proceed with our design process. When looking at interior fabrics , we need to consider these qualities (in bold) to best repented the ETHOS of the brand to best meet the requirements of the brief.
