About R.M. Williams
Born in outback Australia in 1932, R. M. Williams has continued to evolve in the entrepreneurial traditions of its founder, Reginald Murray Williams. The iconic "Craftsman boots"​ are already known and sold across the globe, and it was to realise the global potential of the brand that L Catterton– a private equity company backed by LVMH – and IFM, representing Australian super funds, invested into the business.

In 1932 our founder, Reginald Murray Williams AO, CMG began to make bush saddlery and boots for sale, while camped at Nepabunna, in South Australia's remote Gammon Ranges. Here R.M. first met 'Dollar Mick Smith'​, an itinerant saddler. The two men after much trial and error were able to fashion a pair of stockman's riding boots. Over 85 years on, R.M. Williams continues to make world renowned boots, accessories and men's and women's apparel that are purposefully designed and sustainable to enjoy on life's adventures.

Today, R.M.Williams has 65 retail stores in Australia, 2 stores in New Zealand, 3 stores in the USA and 3 stores in the UK as well as over 900 stockists around the globe. R.M. Williams is a global company, yet will always remain passionate about the Australian bush.
