Duke + Dexter is a London-based footwear and apparel label founded in 2015 by Archie Hewlett. The brand is built around bold design and controlled releases — the kind of label that treats pieces like signatures, not mass output.
WhatThey Do
They offer a full range across:
Footwear (notably loafers, plus other silhouettes)
Apparel (seasonal clothing drops)
Accessories
They also offer 1OF1 custom hand-painted designs on selected items — created by Katie, their in-house artist. This is made-to-order work developed with the client, producing a genuinely one-of-one outcome.
What Makes Them Distinct
1OF1 custom programme (hand-painted, personalised, not repeated)
Drop+ collaboration culture (new releases built around limited runs)
Astrong graphic identity that carries across shoes, clothing, and accessories
Studio-ledbrand world (they communicate through “world-building” and editorials, not just product shots)
Summary
Duke + Dexter is more than footwear — it’s a design-led label that builds a complete wardrobe language across shoes, clothing, and accessories. And when you want something that’s only yours, their 1OF1 hand-painted service takes it into truly personal territory.
