Hunter – the Wellington Revolution

I was flicking through Vogue last night, and there between the Tiffany diamonds and Louis Vuitton luggage was an image of some wellington boots, but these were not just any old wellingtons they were Jimmy Choo for Hunter wellies! No longer are Hunter wellingtons only for people walking their dogs or for the upper class horse riding, the Hunter wellie has now become fashionable. The pair of Jimmy Choo wellingtons that I saw in Vogue sell for around £300, which is a lot of money considering they are made of rubber. They are available in black and feature a crocodile print on the outside with a leopard print on the inside. These boots may not be favourites of the traditional Hunter Wellington boot wearer but they are sure to be making an appearance at many festivals this summer.
