    Grenson Albert or C&J Finsbury

    The Finsbury has a gorgeous medallion and is certainly better quality than the Grenson Albert. The 341 last on the Finsbury is the perfect combination of sleekness without being noticeable fashion forward. Quality is certainly on par and comparing the two is like comparing oranges and apples...

    PSA: SW1 shoe store closing

    Dear all, thank you very much for the kind words of many of you. We indeed faced a dramatic decrease of sales starting in September last year, we had to cut costs and at the end we went a bit in a negative loop and with one only person in the shop part time. This is why we had reduced opening...

    Gallo in Milan

    Thanks fo the suggestion Pabloj. We will definitely think about it although I believe we could use it only for specific items....Kindest regards. Fra Why don't you put up an eBay shop like Tricker's did? With a limited investment you'd gain access to a much wider audience.

    Fox81, I am so sorry about that. Our salesperson (due to recession we have only one employee at the moment) was ill and we could not organise a replacement. I am glad you found Gallo. Kindest regards. Fra SW1 was closed on Sat (and from what i could gather on the sign, on Friday as well)...

    fra, you should add a "patine & glacage" service like the french! Hi Pabloj, although not mentioned in the website we in fact had a person dedicated to this service (the Italian way, just a bit antiquing and shades, see the shoe in my avatar) with a small surcharge on the normal price. He left...

    anyone ever try the SW1 Aurelia shoe from the "donna" collection? it looks great Hi BrooklynWeGoHard, "donna" in Italian means lady.....we did the fancy colors only in women sizes in limited quantities (almost totally gone....).

    Photos of JLP Bespoke Fitting

    Is is really incredible to see to what extent bad taste of the client can waste a marvellous classic. The shoe in picture 19 is simply splendid. Amongst the nicest I've ever seen from a side perspective. The shoe in picture 20 is simply awful. Maybe a shoemaker with the pedigree of JLP should...

    Hi all, in the photos posted in the thread the Sloop and the development made with Luca R. look much "bulkier" than in reality (it is easy to distort proportions when picturing a pair of shoes). I anticipated I would have posted some better photos of the Sloop but I realised they are too...
