Scrunch It Up!

Hi all -


At Clarks we prioritize high quality materials, and for our November TSV, we went above and beyond to bring you this amazing scrunched leather Nikki Star ankle boot. Check out these behind the scene shots of how we create that one of a kind textured look.


First, we scrunch up the leather, and place it in a device similar to a wine press with a screw on top.

We tighten the screw to compress the leather creating permanent wrinkles

Once the creases have set, the leather is removed, stretched and dyed.

We add a little extra finishing to enhance the unique texture and then we tumble everything in a large drum.

The final result is a super soft, fabulous looking leather that is sure to attract attention! 


Tune in today, November 4th, to see what the final creation looks like; our TSV!
