Inside the Montare Collection
Montare comprises four variants: K and K7 for men, and Q and Q7 for women. The K and Q carry flatter toe shapes and streamlined profiles with stylised R panels, while the K7 and Q7 have rounded toes and gathered elastic collars. Select variants feature debossed branding and metal lining trim, and the Q and Q7 come with two lace options, including printed laces.
The leather construction is described as moulding to the foot, with breathable materials for all-day wear. Elastic laces and flexible collars provide a secure hold while allowing slip-on use. The palette spans muted neutrals, earthy tones and more expressive shades.
Manish Poddar, Founder and Creative Director of The House of Rare and Rare'Z, said: "Good design is as much about what you choose to leave out as what you choose to put in. With Montare, the intention was to find the right balance in proportion, to give each silhouette its own character without overworking it." The collection is listed on the company's Montare page.
