R.M. Williams Boots

R.M. Williams is an iconic Australian brand founded in 1932 by Reginald Murray Williams. Known globally for its premium handcrafted leather boots, particularly the 'Craftsman' Chelsea boot, the company has become a symbol of rugged Australian outback style and high-quality craftsmanship. The brand's identity is deeply rooted in the Australian bush heritage, emphasizing durability, comfort, and timeless design.

While the brand has faced various ownership changes over the decades—including periods of ownership by private equity firms and even the French luxury conglomerate LVMH—it returned to Australian hands in 2020. Today, the majority of its legendary footwear is still produced at its workshop in Salisbury, Adelaide, South Australia, where skilled artisans perform over 80 manual processes to create a single pair of boots.

The current ownership by Tattarang ensures that the brand remains a proud representative of Australian manufacturing. R.M. Williams continues to expand its global footprint, operating retail stores across the world while maintaining a steadfast commitment to the traditional techniques that have defined the brand for nearly a century.
