DuoBoots of Bath

Duo are BACK! The day after I returned from my honeymoon to Canada, I made my way to Bath for an exciting blog event. DuoBoots might sound somewhat familiar, I was a big fan of the brand for years and in 2015 they changed name to Ted&Muffy. This name change wasn't fully embraced by everyone (in all honesty, I liked it) so after a couple of years they listened to their loyal customers and... Changed it back! 

I have to tip my fedora to them for giving the new direction a go and accepting that it didn't work. The brand is actually under new ownership now and DuoBoots are determined to bring it back to its former glory. This relaunch has received great feedback from the press and most importantly, Duo's dedicated following. I'm just really pleased their styles are still hella cool and fashion forward! To celebrate their name change, a selection of local bloggers were invited to see the new store and latest Autumn/Winter 2017 collection. 

I remember being in awe of the store back in 2015, but this season I was almost salivating. There are just so many beautiful statement styles I want in my life. I was obviously drawn to the animal print, bright colours and faux crocodile boots... Standard Tara.

Their fantastic (and always lovely) PR team invited us to choose a pair to take home and style, but selecting just one pair whilst battling major jet lag proved tricky. Luckily for me, the girls were really helpful and helped me find my solemate.

DuoBoots believe in the perfect fit, which is why all of their boots come in different calf sizes. I absolutely love this because I have surprisingly big calves! Their footwear is designed locally in Somerset and made in Europe, the team focus on creating quality styles that will last. I know this is true because every single pair of Duo/Ted&Muffy boots I've had have worn really well - and still look as good as new! I'm not just saying that, they genuinely hella impressive. 

After much deliberation, I ended up selecting a classic pair of knee length riding boots. Go me for making a sensible choice for a change! I'm really excited to show you how I styled them, so stay tuned for a new outfit post later this week.

Big shout out to the Octane PR girls and DuoBoots team for a lovely night out.
