Nick,
Are you packing your shoes in those Globe-trotter bags? Would you check these bags with the airlines? I can't imagine checking those bags. Any scratches would ruin my day!

Yes both Globe-Trotter and yes could ruin my day! . I'll be wrapping the 30" in a heavy bubble wrap myself and then let the airport wrapper cover it in their cling wrap. The 21" Trolley case will stay with me as carry-on luggage so it will stay bare!

If there is anyone in LA who would like to meet up and see some G&G bespoke and MTO shoes I will be there next week on Friday 31st & Saturday 1st September. Email me if you would like to meet.
It's not an official Trunk Show but I can take orders if there's something you would like.
Here's some of the collection I'm just about to pack.

Luk-cha,

Real nice.
I think I saw pictures of these on GG blog a while back before they were completed.
These are bespoke, but is the Adelaide a standard style for GG???

I don't think I seen this style (bow wing) before.
