I'll be in for the group order for these in cognac or dark brown shell, with York sole
Although would rather have some sort of grained calf like Russian calf, Willow calf, Peccary leather, even country calf
+1. Don't know what a York sole is though.

Some great ideas for the dover style shoe, especially the dark brown cordovan and willow calf.

New to this thread though certainly not to epaulet. I am a huge fan of the Dover and recently saw the EG Halifax boot which is basically the Dover in boot form. Thought it was killer in ginger suede. Pic is attached. Are people here all booted out or is there interest in something like that?

Hey guys!

I imagine that most of you have seen this already, but here's the full lineup of Carmina's that we received - all posted below.

For another bit of good news - we've got another massive shipment en-route from Spain as we speak. It flew last Friday, and I see a bunch of navy - both calfskin and shell cordovan - on the manifest. We're going to fight like hell to get it here before Christmas, but if we miss that date, then we'll definitely get it between Christmas and New Years.

Onto the nu shooz!

Carmina Formal Shoes
Another quick note. Carmina over-produced two styles of patent leather shoes for a formalwear client. I told them that I help them to move out the extra inventory. With New Year's Eve around the corner, I figured that the timing was right :).
We've got sizes UK7 thorugh UK9.5, just one unit per size. Both shoes are priced at $395, final sale:
1000

Black Patent Leather 2-eye Derby (RAIN LAST): $395
1000

Black Patent Leather Slip-On (SIMPSON LAST): $395


Nice!

Definitely want to do these in calf. I think they would look good in something like ginger suede (similar to the picture) but I would also be interested in some sort of chestnut colored pebble grain calf. Mike, do you think Carmina could do a boot in this style? Glad there is some interest!
