Double-century celebrations continue as Clarks Originals links with Nicholas Daley
Published
August 25, 2025
Clarks Originals is back on the fashion-based collaboration trail, this time with Nicholas Daley. The footwear giant has called on the London-based designer to provide his artist interpretation to its high-profile Wallabee style.
Part of Clarks’ ongoing 200-year anniversary celebrations, the Daley collab “adds another notch to the brand’s celebrations” while combining their shared ethos “of championing community and craftsmanship”.
In the collaboration Daley designs a new Wallabee profile – “which takes inspiration from his British craftmanship, pulling upon his Central Saint Martin’s training, whil[e] incorporating authenticity and diversity”.
This is achieved using “bespoke textiles and complex finishes [in a] nod to his own Jamaican Scottish roots”.
The silhouette comes with a blue and red tartan patchwork design combined with premium smooth suede, waxed leather, and hairy suede. It also includes unique leather stitching to the vamp and heel and is completed with a unique flower fob, unique branding and tartan fabric lace as well as alternative tonal flat lace options.
Daley said of the partnership: ‘‘Having Jamaican descent makes [this collab] even more special, my grandad used to wear Clarks, he made shoes in Jamaaia and was passionate about this footwear”.
The Clarks Originals x Nicholas Daley Wallabee is available from 29 August in men’s and women’s sizing and internationally available at Clarks Originals stores, online, and via selected retail partners priced £170 ($210/€210).
Clarks’ 200-year celebration has already featured a documentary film ‘from Somerset to the World’ , a second annual Wallabee Day held in April and will see the upcoming launch of a collectors’ book in October.

Bangladesh’s BGMEA seeks policy reforms, release of pending incentives
They said bank audit procedures have stalled numerous applications. Around Tk 57 billion in incentives for the textile and apparel sector remain unsettled in fiscal 2025-26, creating acute liquidity pressure and affecting exports.
Bangladesh trade body BGMEA representatives recently met Finance Minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury and urged him to release pending cash incentives without waiting for quarterly release schedules and simplify the disbursement process.
They said bank audit procedures have stalled numerous applications.
They also raised concerns over loan rescheduling and working capital.
The authorities were requested to disburse incentives upon application submission instead of waiting for quarterly release schedules, according to a release from the trade body.
BGMEA vice president Mohammad Shihab Uddoja Chowdhury raised concerns over loan rescheduling and working capital. He said banks often reschedule loans to maintain non-performing loan ratios, but fail to provide the working capital factories need to resume operations.
He proposed that banks pair rescheduling with working capital support to create a win-win outcome, allowing factories to operate and repay loans. The finance minister agreed with the proposal.
BGMEA leaders also called for business facilitation and lower operational costs to help Bangladesh remain competitive in the global market. They sought policy support to remove obstacles in customs, ports and other administrative layers and to ensure an investment-friendly environment.
