Cobalt blue, printed leather boat shoe / € 199,90  incl. VAT

“I could write a whole book about this shoe. And once I’d be done, people would probably fight over obtaining the film rights. Just look at the leather that this shoe is made of! Spectacular! The biggest surprise perhaps is that this isn’t just common leather but… patent leather! The small, coloured ovals have been finished with a matt varnish. Patent leather is usually uniform, smooth and very glossy, but this isn’t necessarily a must. For this shoe, the matt varnish provides the ovals which have been printed into the leather with a beautiful and even effect. The tanner creating this material doesn’t leave his tannery much, he doesn’t exhibit at large trade shows, nor does he travel the world, but he sure does make the most beautiful patent leather variations of the world. That is also the reason why we don’t shy away from a ‘if the mountain will not come to Muhammad, Muhammad must go to the mountain’ situation, especially when our visits pay off with treasures such as these.”
