Cucinelli and Trickers ?

[Warrengardner]

This may be old news for many of you fashionistas, but I heard this weekend from a Cucinelli rep that next year Brunello will have a line of shoes made by Trickers. Anyone else heard the same or different. Apparently, like Church and Prada before another ailing English mfgr is being kept alive by those "lazy Italians."

Who makes their current 'Made in Italy' shoes ? And why are they changing their current supplier, to support British shoemaking ....

Nah, Trickers has made their shoes for the past several years and will no longer be making them. Now made somewhere in Italy carrying the BC label - made only up to size 44

I've a pair of Trickers for BC suede wingtips on clay soles that are

- they are NLA.

This rep couldn't buy a clue if he were playing the game of Clue.

Maybe he was saying that starting next year trickers will NOT be making shoes for Cucinelli, becuase I remember some comment about how sad to see Trickers in such a jam. I was really concentrating on the 25 cashmeres and leather jackets he had to sell and after seeing on SF the dumping of BC at outlets in the States I'm glad I passed on the "major coup" strategy and kept my purchases personal.

Trickers were never labeled Cucinelli however, Cucinelli used them in their photo shoots and catalogs for the last few years and sold them in their retail stores through last summer. Recently they introduced a shoe that looks identical to Trickers- Large, wide, bearpaw type shape, mostly suede, red sole and Vibram-like soles, wingtips. These new shoes have the Cucinelli name and are made in Italy.

When I was in the BC store at Woodbury around x-mas, there were boxes of Trickers shoes under some of the coats, sweaters, and other winterwear. Suede wingtips with red soles but clearly in Trickers boxes.

On this pair bought a few weeks ago from their last AW collection it's clearly written Made in Italy. They are really Trickers clones, maybe with more antiquing and higher retail price (about 880 USD).

Trickers version

I do like their BC's antiquing work. I wonder what it is, just saphir or the like on the right places?

Trickers International. Anything to do with Tricker's? I saw a pair of boots made by the former and I'd say they were on a par with Shoe Zone (£15 a pair, or less on a 2 for 1 day). I can't believe the same company makes them. Tricker's and Trickers - different company?

Just how bad of a jam is Tricker's rumored to find itself?
