Fracap – Crafted Exclusively For HIP
This season HIP have again partnered with Fracap to present a range of Boots in bespoke colourways with unique upper, sole and hardware combinations.
Fracap is an Italian family-run shoe business that has passed through generations, always staying true to its roots. The label’s origins date back to 1908 when the Grandfather of the family Antonio Capello first hand-crafted a pair of shoes. Despite closing when Antonio left for the Great War, the business garnered a reputation for crafting durable and resilient shoes. Fracap evolved constantly throughout the 20th century: first when Antonio’s sons took over in the ’40s and experimented with new designs and welt techniques, and secondly when the next family generation designed a military collection for the Italian Army and Air Force.
Still to this day Fracap is based in Monteroni, a small town in Puglia where the Grandfather first started the business. At that time the area was dubbed “scarpa pulita” (clean shoe), referencing the artisan shoe trade it had become known for. Centering production and design in Monteroni has allowed Fracap to “spread the energy and beauty of our place in the shoes we make with our hands”.
Fracap – Crafted Exclusively For HIP – online now and available in our Leeds & Manchester stores.

Unpacking Noah x The Cure with Friend of HIP Chris Black
To celebrate the launch of Noah’s collaboration with The Cure – writer, brand consultant and co-host of acclaimed podcast How Long Gone, Chris Black, wrote an exclusive article for HIP. Black has a long-standing relationship with Noah and regularly features actors, musicians, artists, designers, and writers on his podcast, ranging from niche to famous and reflecting a wide taste that covers interesting contours of contemporary culture. One of Black’s early interests was The Cure: he tells HIP the story of seeing them when he was 16, his obsession with the band’s vintage tour merch, and why its imagery and motifs are so enduring.
Noah’s FW23 collaboration with The Cure introduces a collection that channels the cult English rock band’s creative energy and era-defining look. Inspired by classic tour merch and fan customisation, Noah worked with contemporary artist Perla Haney-Jardine to create unique one-of-ones that reinforce the brand’s individualist spirit.
Noah x The Cure for FW23 is available online now and in both our Leeds & Manchester stores, customers in Leeds & Manchester will receive a special Noah x The Cure promotional poster as gift with purchase whilst supplies last.
