Suggestions
Anniversary
Forty-four years of the same argument, made in leather: that a shoe should be worth returning to rather than replacing.
Craft
A pair begins on paper and ends in the hand. Between those two points sit forty operations, most of which leave no visible trace on the finished shoe.
Materials
Leather is not a material you specify. It is one you get to know, batch by batch, and then design around what it turns out to be.
Style
Fewer pairs, chosen slowly. A note on building a wardrobe that does not need replacing every season.
