Today the prerogative of many customer groups, all with a very different age range, Blundstones were conceived over a century ago: it all began in 1853 when two brothers, James and Thomas Cuthbertson, two shoe merchants who set sail from England to Melbourne. Here James opened a high-quality shoe shop, taking care of both the production chain and the import of models from abroad. The fact that they also took care of the leather tanning chain, whose sites were located right in Tasmania, was a calling card that ensured instant success.

The lively '60s saw the launch of the Blundstone #500 series, now iconic in terms of design and brand identity, so much so that the mere mention of “ The Blundstone ” is enough to make it clear what we are talking about.
