Who would have thought that Paddington Bear’s signature Wellington boots would ever make its way into luxury fashion? Yes, you are looking at Bottega Veneta’s rendition, the latest pair of avant-garde kicks it has unveiled. Known as the BV Puddle Boots, it makes for the hottest (quite literally if you plan on wearing it in Singapore, but truly perfect for a rainy day) fashion statement this season.

These ankle boots are made from a biodegradable polymer, essentially sustainable rubber that’s better for the environment. Design-wise, the upper part of the shoe takes inspiration from the traditional Chelsea boot, while the bulky-looking sole is finished with a perfectly round toe, making it the fanciest pair of rubber ankle boots you will ever own. The seamless construction from top to bottom allows you to slide your feet easily into them, and you can count on the BV Puddle Boots for days when you refuse to let your leather heels and sneakers get caught in the rain.

Available in sizes for both men and women, the BV Puddle Boots come in Fondente (dark brown), Kiwi (neon green), Lollipop (pink) and Rubber Band (tan), all colours that are found extensively in Bottega Veneta’s Fall-Winter 2020 collection. And if you’re wondering, yes, these ankle boots are made in Italy (as with all other Bottega Veneta shoes), which pretty much warrants the price tag of SGD900 a pop. Which colour would it be for you?
