The Hector is a standout new addition to Barker’s Creative Collection for Autumn/Winter 2020, drawing its inspiration from the sinuous tendrils and winged motifs characteristic of the Art Nouveau era. It’s crafted using hand-painted calf leather and constructed on the 446 last, all supported by a full leather sole. The shoe is distinguished by its curved over-stitch design and asymmetrical wing brogue detailing.
