British shoe designer Jonathan Kelsey has created a footwear range for luxury fashion house Mulberry.

This is the first time the brand has branched out into shoes, with the line set to debut as part of London Fashion Week (LFW) next month.

Kelsey has designed a total of five styles for the capsule collection, including a riding boot, an ankle boot and a shoe-boot.

England's answer to Christian Louboutin will present the shoes at LFW on February 14th and the collection will go on sale at select Mulberry stores in September.

Mulberry's chief operating officer Lisa Montague, told Womenswear Daily: "Footwear has always been in our plan, and now is the right time.

"We love Jonathan's styles and he's a good fit for the brand. All the models are based on his last [collection] - and adapted to Mulberry's style, using the colors of the season."

Kelsey has previously worked with his cousin - and one-time Mulberry creative director -Stuart Vevers on a collection for Luella.

The first ever Mulberry shoe line will be on sale by September 2008, and prices will range from $100 to $500

My overall thought:

Jonathan Kelsey shoes are always amazing but I like that his Murberry line is cheaper than his own. This time I can actually afford to buy more than one pair at a time. Can't wait till September.
