This month we had a scare with the Italian Shoe of the Month.  Annejkh had been working on the George boot for quite a while, but by the 27th of January we still hadn't received the final samples.  So, as a precaution, we sent our photographer Martin another pair of shoes we've been working on. 

As it turns out, the boots turned up at the very last minute and we were able to proceed as planned. 

Here's a taste of what very nearly became the Italian Shoe of the Month for February.  It's a beautiful style that you'll be seeing before long.  Just not yet . . .

The English Shoe of the Month for February is a classic Oxford pattern that's all about the leathers.  A stunning calfskin for the main leather and a rich calf suede for the collar.

February’s other half!

January 28th, 2009 | Nathan Brown

  I just received the Italian Shoe of the Month for February and I'm pretty much in love! Our team of Artisans over in Napoli has finger-polished this Chukka Boot to perfection. The pattern is clean and simple to showcase the exquisite 'Rosso Diablo' hand-coloured leather. Burnished slightly darker over the toe; this three-lace ankle boot exudes elegance. Available for one month only from Feb 1st….
