There are few British brands as iconic as Dr. Martens.
The British footwear and clothing giants have been setting the bar in fashion for many years.
The air-cushioned sole and yellow stitching is one of the most distinctive parts of fashion in British culture and even 75 years after its founding, people still love the things they put out.
When the company first got off the ground in the 1940s, they were a big hit with housewives.
The design was mainly aimed at comfort, with the founder initially trying to adjust for his injured ankle.
Within a few years a factory had opened and by 1959 the footwear was being marketed internationally.
Quickly in Britain the designs became popular among postmen, factory workers and police officer.
By the 1960s, political factions had also started to use them as distinctive fashion statements as well as among new wave musicians and other youth subcultures.
In 2006, Griggs’ 1460 Dr. Martens AirWair boot was named in the list of British design icons which included the Tube Map, Mini and World Wide Web.
Despite a brief slump in the early 2000s, things turned around quickly. By 2012 it was the eighth fastest growing company in Britain.
A brand like this can only become so iconic and continue pushing boundaries 75 years later by having a fantastic team behind them.
Without its employees, Dr. Martens would not be the titan of industry and fashion that it is today.
Every member of the team plays a crucial role in keeping the organisation running smoothly and maintaining the brand’s impeccable image.
