Hunter Wellington Rain Boots

Hunter is a heritage British brand famous for its iconic 'Wellington' boots. Founded in 1856 as the North British Rubber Company, the brand became a staple of British outdoor life, eventually receiving Royal Warrants from HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and HM The Queen. Traditionally made from natural rubber, the brand expanded from industrial use to a global fashion icon recognized at music festivals and country estates alike.

While the brand maintains its British heritage and design center in the United Kingdom, manufacturing transitioned away from Scotland in the late 20th century. Today, production occurs primarily in Asia, specifically in China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. In 2023, the brand underwent a significant ownership change after entering administration, resulting in its acquisition by Authentic Brands Group. This transition has shifted the brand into a licensing model where global partners handle regional distribution and production.
