The Autumn Edit

The AW26 collection is Black Tulip's answer to the season's three problems: what to wear with denim, what to wear when the day turns formal without warning, and what to wear when neither of those quite fits. The Maple Knee Boot — full-grain leather, 5.3 cm block heel, £195 — is the winter workhorse, built for cold walks and everyday layering. The Iris Kitten Heel Ankle Boot — suede, 4.3 cm heel, £155 — is the transition piece, sharp enough for evening without abandoning comfort. The Clover Woven Loafer — hand-woven leather, roughly eight hours a pair, £130 — sits between the two, worn as easily with trousers as with a dress.

All three run true to size, whole sizes only, UK 3 to 8, made in the family's third-generation shoe factory where every pair is checked before it ships. The collection isn't about reinventing the wardrobe — it's about having the right pair already there when the season demands it.
