Tony's at the top of his craft and it shows through his shoes - each one a work of art.

Oh in case you missed him in D.C., they're headed up to Leffot on Tuesday...

This is one of seven new styles just introduced -- this one is the "St. James".

Sounds like you work for G&G.........lol

Hardly!

I'm just a huge fan... they really do great work. As corny as it sounds, I appreciate pure beauty in all its forms - female, bespoke tailoring, shoes... and G&G shoes are truly works of arts. The bespoke shoes are made entirely by hand -- just incredible. In a world full of mass-produced crap, it's refreshing to see how things can and should be done.

Some next level shoemaking there. Thanks for posting jinda. I like them all except the stingray.

(for now, will have to stick with Vass)

Beautiful shoes! I ordered the Burnham on Friday when he was in Chicago. And the whole cut on the left will be my next order later this year!

When I inquired Dean about new models last week he said not until August Looks like they were keeping this new batch under wraps to surprise the faithful and try to entice some on the fence Pictures were gorgeous and reminded me of the excitement I underwent when Luk-cha...last Feb. 2008 posted pics of the new shoes & boots at the Tokyo show (too bad the pics don't exist on that thread) Anyone know if a greater variety of leathers became available for MTO clients (I desire something in Stingray) MTO prices for shoes use to be 470 pounds and boots in the range of 570 Excellent posting by the OP

He did have with him a book (or two) of leather swatches... Quite a varied assortment.
