    MARGARET HOWELL idea is a category extension that carries the brand name and design direction into footwear and eyewear, separately from the parent brand’s clothing collection. In Japan, footwear is manufactured and sold under license, presenting classic shoe styles in a contemporary way. Eyewear is offered as a dedicated collection of optical frames and sunglasses. Unlike MHL., which proposes clothing rooted in workwear, it complements the parent brand’s lineup through fashion accessories.
