Yup, took that into accounting. Just wanted to make sure that my math was correct.

Is there a reason that Aldens are more expensive? Do you pay import tax into South Korea from the USA?

As with all foreign Alden retailers our costs are higher due to taxes and international shipping costs. We will deduct 10% Korean VAT tax and we are offering free shipping to give our customers the best possible price. If you are ordering to the USA then you will avoid import taxes because Alden is made in USA. If anyone is interested in a particular model please PM me and I will give you a price quote in dollars.

Here are some of our Jalan suede shoes. These are Goodyear welted by hand and the suede is sourced from France. These are $315 dollars and we are offering free shipping at this time! Let us know if you have any questions.
Hello! These are stunning shoes. Can you provide some background on this brand?

Jalan shoes are made in Indonesia and they are Goodyear welted by hand. The hides are sourced from France. These shoes are on par for quality with other mid-range shoe makers. The owner of the company studied shoes in England and brought this knowledge back to Indonesia where labor costs are lower. All of this allows the customer to get a great quality shoe for a very reasonable price. Jalan has done very well in Japan and Korea. I hope this is helpful and I am happy to answer any other questions you have.

Makes sense :). Thank you for the answer. I see myself possibly picking some Carminas up from you in the future.

And if you had these in my size for that price would have bought them already :D

Pretty close to what I've been looking for.

Here are new pictures of some of our Carmina shoes.



I'm in the market for some new tan wingtips.. and these bad boys are ticking my boxes... have never previously owned any Carmina's but they've been on my wish list for a while....

I've just checked your website (nice site by the way) and can't find these anywhere, so assume you're out of stock now? will you be getting these in at any point in the near future?

Also, whilst your site is very nicely laid out and I understand you're currently in the process of updating in English, maybe you could consider a currency switch to show prices in USD / GBP etc etc?
I'm based in the middle east so buying and shipping from Korea would work just as well as buying and shipping from EU / USA, which Im currently doing..

We are currently working on adding more English to the website. I will answer any questions you have and Carmina is something needed in a man's wardrobe. Design, finishing, and materials are all top shelf. We will post our restocks on Styleforum as soon as they come in. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

Jalan Sriwijaya - how is the sizing for these shoes? I'm very familiar with Carmina sizing and would love to try these as they seem to represent a nice value.

Thanks!
Kevin
