Fredrick Horn recently visited the NPS factory for the first time to see behind the scenes of our shoe manufacturing process. Fredrick is a designer from Cornwall and based in London where he is Junior Art Director for You Must Create (YMC).

Fredrick's tour around our Wollaston factory followed one of the YMC x Solovair Autumn / Winter 22 styles being made. The latest collaboration perfectly encapsulates both Solovair’s craftsmanship and technology along with YMC’s signature style.



For men and women, there is a chunky buckle Monk shoe and the Dealer boot re-imagined in a Greasy Leather. For women, the strap-over Mary Jane is available in premium grained leather, while a contemporary men’s lace-up Gibson combines the styling of a hiking boot with a city shoe.
