Bally has been celebrating the 60th anniversary of Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay’s historic Mount Everest climb — Norgay was outfitted by the brand, who recreated their base camp in central London this year and showcased his famed reindeer boots.

The Swiss brand has created an Everest capsule line for men and women that includes cashmere sweaters, leather parkas, calf leather and marmot fur bags, and low-top Viller boots lined in suede.

Bally also re-engineered Norgay’s boots, made to order, now featuring ‘360 Degree Non-Slip Grip’, a shaved deer skin outer for warmth, and sturdy double-stitched Norwegian construction.
