Dr Martens Store Manager

Established in 1901, Dr. Martens was recognised originally as a sturdy, durable work boot before being transformed in the 1960's, into an iconic fashion statement, synonymous with festival culture. The past six decades that have witnessed the brand's adoption by a diverse range of tribes, celebrities, musicians and free-thinking individuals - each subverting and twisting the boots and shoes to their own personal needs, attitudes and identity. Accent Group Limited acquired the distribution rights for Dr. Martens in 1988 and opened the first Australian retail store in Sydney in 2018.
