Australian-born footwear brand Merry People teams up with British lifestyle retailer Oliver Bonas to launch a limited edition Tully Boot in a new Chocolate & Pink colourway.
Merry People and Oliver Bonas are joining forces on a new limited-edition Tully Boot, marking Merry People’s first-ever collaboration with a UK brand.
Launching on 10 September 2026, the collaboration sees Merry People’s Tully boot reimagined in an exclusive Chocolate & Pink colourway, combining a rich chocolate brown with a soft pop of pink.
The launch comes two years after Merry People was first stocked by Oliver Bonas in September 2024, marking a natural next step in the relationship between the two brands and bringing together their shared love of colour, playful design and products that add personality to everyday life.
A Natural Collaboration
Merry People has continued to grow its presence in the UK since launching here in 2022, with Oliver Bonas becoming an established wholesale partner for the brand. The new Tully Boot brings together the two brands’ shared approach to colour and design, while retaining the performance and comfort Merry People is known for.
For Merry People Founder Dani Pearce, the collaboration is an exciting step for the brand in the UK. “We’re still relatively new to the UK market, so this collaboration is a huge moment for us – it’s our first ever partnership with a UK brand. Our wholesale partnership with Oliver Bonas has been really successful, and a lot of that comes down to how well our brands align- we share the same playful energy and passion for colour. When the opportunity came up to do a proper collaboration together, it felt like the obvious next step, and the Tully boot was the perfect product to bring it to life. Rich brown has been a big trend across both our businesses, and we’ve put a playful, feminine twist on it, alongside a beautiful on-trend pink, that feels like true Merry People and Oliver Bonas perfection.”
Merry People’s growing UK presence is backed by a loyal customer base, with more than 35,000 five-star reviews, and previous collaborations with iconic New Zealand fashion label Karen Walker each selling out in under two weeks in consecutive years. This September, Founder Dani is also visiting the UK to host four customer events across the country and a dedicated media event, marking a busy month for the brand as it continues to build its UK community.
The Tully Boot in Chocolate & Pink
Named after Tully in Queensland, one of the wettest towns in Australia, the Tully Boot offers a fashion led take on the traditional wellington. Its chunky silhouette, elevated sole and bold colour combinations give the boot a contemporary feel, while its waterproof construction makes it practical for everything from wet-weather dog walks and muddy country paths to rainy city streets. Designed to be worn beyond the outdoors, its elevated silhouette pairs easily with everything from jeans and knitwear to dresses and skirts, making it a versatile everyday boot for the autumn/winter months.
For the Oliver Bonas collaboration, the Tully is available in an exclusive chocolate brown and pink colourway, giving the classic outdoor boot a playful, feminine feel. 100% waterproof, it features a durable rubber compound containing FSC-certified natural rubber, a slip-resistant outsole and a 360-degree neoprene lining for warmth, cushioning and additional waterproof protection. A recycled PU moulded footbed with arch support and reinforced midsole provide comfort and support for all-day wear, while a metal shank helps reduce foot fatigue. Like all Merry People boots, the Tully combines practical outdoor performance with a considered, everyday aesthetic.
The Merry People x Oliver Bonas Tully Boot launches on 10 September 2026, and will be available from uk.merrypeople.com, Oliverbonas.com and select Oliver Bonas stores, retailing at £120. The limited-edition colourway will be available as a single production run, with no restock planned.
