Dr. Martens, commonly known as Doc Martens or Docs, is s British footwear and clothing brand. Originally designed by a German doctor. A British shoe manufacturer bought the rights and added the trademark yellow stitching. Worn by groups in British culture and then becoming very popular in the 1980s with skateboarders, punk rock, and new wave music and now notably with grunge fashion since the early nineties. The oxblood red was the first color to come out of the UK. There are seven stores in London and more locations around the UK. We where looking for items that could be found only in London to give as gifts but those products are available online only. The store is small but the staff was very helpful. I loved the pink lambswool Stewart Tartan scarf woven in Scotland. I don't plan to wear it as a rebellious anti-establishment fashion statement as they where worn in the 1970s during the Punk movement. www.drmartens.com read more
