Inspired by the wild, unspoiled edges of the world
—
Working together between Finisterre’s clifftop workshop in Cornwall and Blundstone’s base in the heart of Tasmania the two brands designed a pair of boots inspired by their coastal wilderness landscapes — places that require endurance, resilience and a willingness to embrace the elements — the result, a strong, lightweight, vegan boot made for stepping off the beaten track.

Tales from the world’s edge
—
To launch this collaboration we created a campaign theme and supporting material including two shorts and one full-length video featuring two of Tasmanias big wave surfers Lizzie Stokely and Tyler Holmer-Cross.
They discuss their experiences of growing up surfing across remote areas of Tassie and the challenges of riding the infamous wave known and Shipsterns.
