Check out the latest for Winter, plus, their new store in Chicago on the Mag Mile.

At Factio, we’re big fans of Timberland, especially their Earthkeepers collection which we were first introduced to last year.  So naturally, we were excited to check out their latest collection for 2012. Inspiration for winter can be summed up in one phrase: look as good as you feel. “For the Timberland woman, the outdoors is about enjoying herself and enjoying her friends — and having footwear that’s functional and performs well allows her to do that,” explains Lisa Demarkis, vice president of footwear for Timberland.  “Because looking good is as important as feeling good, we’re continuing to focus this season on beautiful styles that are heritage-inspired and showcase the craftsmanship Timberland is known for.” We love how their current collection takes comfort and style to the next level. While thinking of our own winter wardrobe and browsing the latest collection, we just had to swoop up one of our favorite styles — the Earthkeepers Bethel Buckle Tall Zip Boot ($210). The black, rocker-chic boot is the perfect addition to our wardrobe and we know this timeless style will be chic season after season.

If you’re in Chicago, be sure to check out the new Timberland store on Michigan Ave. That’s right, the company has recently planted roots in Chicago’s hippest shopping destination at 625 North Michigan Avenue. “Chicagoans are naturally savvy and stylish when it comes to gearing up for the outdoors – whether it’s shopping for the warmest boots for windy winters or boat shoes to take them from ship to shore.  At the new Timberland store, they’ll find beautifully crafted leathers and the best heritage-inspired gear, including our largest Earthkeepers collection ever, to suit all their lifestyle needs”,added Brendan Sullivan, vice president of retail. The 3,500 sq. ft. eco-conscious space is the perfect addition to mag mile shopping. Check out the latest collection at www.shop.timberland.com
