Adding a little more magic to every step, Fleur Harris’ latest collaboration with Walnut Melbourne brings to life the ultimate footwear companions for little adventures.

A captivating collection designed for fancy feet, the children’s shoe range showcases an enchanting exhibition of Fleur’s whimsical prints across Walnut’s iconic canvas styles. Beautifully playing to their strengths, the successful collaboration is a true reflection of both partners’ appreciation for limitless creativity and their shared love of design.

Kindly allowing us an exclusive peek behind the curtain, Walnut Melbourne’s General Manager, Jessica Scott, shared a little insight into some of the key considerations of children’s footwear design, beyond that of a beautiful aesthetic.

Describing the collaborative process as ‘an opportunity to translate Fleur’s beautiful illustrations into wearable art’ Jessica shared how the ‘visually stunning pieces resonated with Walnut’s brand aesthetic and vision’, making the collaboration a showcase of beautiful artistry and attention to detail.

A trusted Melbourne-based brand for over 16 years, Walnut Melbourne prioritises three key considerations when crafting footwear to ensure tiny feet are kept lovingly hugged, which include:

Quality Construction: Ready to withstand the demands of tiny explorers, each shoe needs to balance high-quality materials and meticulous construction techniques to ensure longevity. For Walnut Melbourne, it’s all about confirming customer confidence with reinforced stitching, sturdy soles and durable materials.

Fit: Designed to accommodate growing feet, the shoe’s ‘fit’ is imperative when it comes to kid’s footwear. With a complete range of sizes to choose from and a collection of designs to provide
the very best in comfort and support, the Fleur Harris x Walnut Melbourne collection offers a stylish shoe for every little wanderer.

Fabrication:  Little feet need breathable and gentle materials to ensure comfort remains throughout the day. At Walnut Melbourne, soft fabrics are always prioritised (including premium leathers and textiles), to promote healthy foot development. Additionally, Walnut uses eco-friendly and non-toxic materials, to ensure the safety and wellbeing of children.

Concluding the conversation by sharing her two favourite pieces across both the Fleur Harris Apparel collection and the Fleur Harris x Walnut Melbourne collaboration, Jessica added, ‘The beautiful blush colours in Fleur’s designs are reflected in our collaborative collection, so we’d suggest pairing The Fleur Harris Canvas in Blush with the Fleur Harris Frill Dress in Rosette for a super sweet outfit that your little one will love!’
