Welligogs , a traditional family business since 2000, founded by Kim Annan, was the first company to introduce hand painted designs onto rubber boots into the UK and Europe. The designs were inspired by Kim and her husband Ray, as well as their four children. Kim says âthe adoption of the name Welligogs was motivated by nostalgic childhood memories of a loving home where everyone called their wellington boots âWelligogsâ. The Wellington boots were replaced by higher quality leather waterproof and breathable boots in 2008 in two styles which have since grown into a number of new styles. As the company grew a range of âDistinctly Britishâ clothing with âcutting edge fashion and styleâas its goal, was introduced. Kim and Rayâs passion for British Made at the forefront of their minds resulted in establishing manufacturing set in the heart of England where the majority of the fabrics are hand cut and the clothing made.
