I was wondering about the vogue suede specifically, as they don't seem to have the regular suede in burgundy.
Did you ask them if the regular burgundy was available? If I remember correctly @Carmina (Sara) once wrote, that they do have burgundy suede available and that it could be requested in the comments section. I don't know if that still is the case.

Personally, I wouldn't use a thin suede for the shaft of the "Calway".

Great looking boots!
If you don't mind me asking, how roomy is the toe box of the Llubi last compared to other Carmina and/or Trickers lasts?
Any chance of a top view picture next to some of your other boots with roomy toe boxes?
It’s pretty relaxed. First time I used that last. It’s similar fit to 4497s Trickers which is TTS. I only had Oscar previously and they fit very similarly.

Any Ideas about Carmina’s last that is similar to Viberg Halkett Boot in attached photo, noting that Viberg’s are on their 2030 last.

I don't think there are any Carmina lasts that are that similar to 2030, to be honest with you. Maybe Detroit or Llubi, although I have no experience with Llubi. Detroit is a fairly chunky last (for Carmina) but the toe is a bit more of a soft square. Maybe Oscar could be in that range as well given the round toe but I feel like it's a more refined last than 2030.

I would say Llubi and Oscar might be the closest lasts.

This pair is on Soller, but the front looks longer:

I agree with you, Detroit with its soft square profile would be slightly more off the mark when compared to Llubi and Oscar.

I don't have anything on llubi but I can take a pic later comparing 2030 to soller, oscar, and detroit if OP needs. As you noted, soller has a much more elongated toe. It's a great last but I don't feel like it's a close analogue to 2030.

Would appreciate some photos, if possible.
and I agree with you that Oscar would be the closest match, yet refined.
