Description
Discover the rich history of Clarks in Jamaica, a story that spans over 180 years and takes you from the quiet English village of Street to the vibrant streets of Kingston.
This book explores how footwear made by a Quaker firm became an integral part of Jamaican culture, with styles such as the Desert Boot, Wallabee, and Desert Trek influencing the island's fashion. With new interviews, previously unseen photographs, and insights into Jamaica's favourite Clarks styles from former company employees, this updated edition delves deeper into the cultural exchange between Jamaica and the UK.
Beautifully presented and thoroughly researched, Clarks in Jamaica is a fascinating document of Clarks' roots in Jamaican culture, appealing to those interested in music, fashion, and history as much as to fans of the brand itself.
