I don’t know if they are chunky or not but I know they look great! What size do you wear in Llubi compared to Rain?

same, 8UK both lasts

Weekend kicks. Need shorter laces, me thinks.

Wonderful, can you comment on the fit of Sineu last in respect to other Carmina last you might have? My best fitting Carmina last is Rain.

These look great. Do you have a side pic of the shoe? It looks similar to the C&J Chiltern worn.

Anyone know if you can MTO oxford wingtips on the Detroit last?

Forest last. It’s the only last I wear in Carmina and one of the best of all time.

Anyone with some tassel/penny loafers on the forest last be willing to share some pictures?

Hey guys, I have 3 questions for ya experts:

1. any word on what Carmina's Black Friday sale will be?
2. Do they ever do the sale where they waive the custom order fee so it has the same price as RTW shoes?
3. What is a good shade of medium to lighter brown suede? Snuff/tobacco looks a little too orange sometimes. Chocolate suede is a little too dark. For reference, i want it to be noticeably brown in darker/dim lighting

Thanks!

1. Probably discounted price on current models. I've got no clue on this.

2. Carmina had their "Custom weekend" 2 weeks ago where MTO fee was waived completely.


3. Snuff and Tobacco is probably your best bet. Snuff is literally a medium brown suede and in my opinion, they do not look orangey at all. Tobacco definitely has an orange hue to it. Take a look below for colour comparison.

That's right, I tried checking out a random pair 2 weeks ago to see the price but unfortunately it was broken and wouldn't let me add to cart. how often do they do that sale?

and i was thinking of tobacco/polo that have orange hues. i will take a closer look at snuff suede, thank you!

Unfortunately, I've only recently follow this thread so I do not know the frequency of the sale. But I do know that you can bring 6 people together and do a GMTO, if you're interested.

I do not own any suede shoes from Carmina so I can't give you any confirmation on the colours. Suede can also look abit different under different lighting. Hopefully the others in the thread can help to chime in on the colours of snuff/tobacco/polo suede.

1. The last big deal was very recent so I'm not sure, when exactly the next one will be. I can, however, recall one with a free belt and card holder matching a purchased shoe. I guess that was also fairly quickly after last years mto fee waved, so black friday is a good guess.
2. As explained, just happened, guess it won't come that fast again. Another event will most likely be next year around that time. I think in mid august there was also a special Kirby Allison event, for which other people had their mto fee waved as well? So such events could happen in future again and you don't have to wait another year.
