Universal Works launches capsule collection with Birkenstock

The much-anticipated launch of the UW x Birkenstock capsule collection for SS19 took place this week. The collection is available exclusively in both brands’ stores and on their websites, as well as through selected retailers, retailing between £70-£95.

Two classic Birkenstock styles, the “Boston” and the “Zurich”, have been given a contemporary update by Universal Works, who’s founder, David Keyte, has been a huge fan of the brand for some 27 years.

Keyte says: “A household name with roots that date back over two centuries, Birkenstock is a company Universal Works has always hoped to work with. As a long-term ‘Birks’ wearer and all-around lover of Birkenstock products, I am both hugely excited and humbled to be given a chance to put a Universal Works touch on two of my favourite styles.”
