Following the success of our initial collaborative project, we couldn't resist reconnecting with certified masters of the laid-back moccasin, Yogi, for another joint venture that’s available for Spring/Summer '24.

Continuing from our previous collaboration, we've once again infused Yogi's signature silhouettes with a distinct UW twist. Leading the pack and returning for Spring Summer is the Hitch Loafer, a design adapted from their Hitch Shoe, specifically for our last collaboration. This season, it returns in hairy suede, in a refreshing sand colourway, with a crepe outsole. Additionally, we've selected Yogi’s Floyd II Mules, an effortless summer shoe, made in a mix of tumbled and reverse tumbled leather, it’s a style that is already beloved by our team. Then there are the Rudy II Loafers in tumbled leather, initially chosen as the perfect pairing for UW’s suiting but versatile enough for everyday wear. And last but certainly not least, the Olson Boat Shoe in soft suede, a personal favourite of our co-founder David’s, stands out as a comfortable and breathable shoe — consistent with all Yogi's footwear, thanks to the unlined leathers and suedes they use throughout.

To maintain consistency and further emphasise the UW touch, we've reintroduced the collaborative hand-stitched cross detail seen in our previous capsule. UW co-founder David Keyte shares his thoughts:

“Paul and Samira at Yogi and our team had already worked together during Autumn Winter ‘23, on some new iterations of their styles with small changes to make them feel a little more UW. We wanted to continue with that for the new season in some more seasonally appropriate colours, as well as introducing my personal favourite, the Olson Boat Shoe.”

David's longstanding relationship with the current Yogi team, as well as his admiration for the brand's aesthetic, comfort, and commitment to quality at an accessible price point, make this a particularly special partnership. We believe Yogi's style aligns well with the UW aesthetic, providing a fantastic addition to our "in-house" wardrobe that truly complements our clothing.
