Collection

At Uptown Yardie we are passionate about the shoes we produce; we know this is a passion shared by our enthusiastic owners. We are poised upon the threshold of something that is truly special. We have created a diverse and exclusive range of hand-finished and hand-made (Black Label Collection) shoes, designed and patterned by British footwear designer/maker Rohan Clarke influenced by his Jamaican heritage.

We believe that a shoe should have a distinctive and individual character that is shaped through the ideas and vision of it designer and craftsman who are united and driven by a common goal, a common spirit to create the most beautiful shoes. Each piece has been carefully selected by our team to ensure it embodies the qualities of style, elegance and exclusivity synonymous with the Uptown Yardie brand whilst reflecting the unique philosophies of design and craftsmanship for which Rohan Clarke is renowned.

The collection is made in Northampton, the art of tradition and expert English shoemaking. The craftsmanship can be found in the perfect stitching detail of the leather, the hand finished soles and the punching of the uppers.

The Uptown Yardie collection captivates the senses with fantastic colours reminiscent of early Venetian masters and the pre-Raphaelite artists. The beauty of the line, the delicacy entwined with a daring modernist style sets this seductive collection comfortably into the 21st century.

Uptown Yardie shoes are fresh beautiful and fantastically original. These distinctive shoes can only be described as “angelic works of art to be walked in”.
