UK 8 / 27cm was probably not what Thinkderm hoped to hear

Those loafers are gorgeous. Do they offer international shipping?

I believe the loafers (from the link) are made to order (sizing, leather), and orders are taken at trunk shows only. I doubt he will take MTO orders internationally.

Beams and Isetan do carry a selection of RTW Corno Blu shoes.

Happy Chinese New Years Folks!

I hope everyone celebrating the occasion are eating good food over the weekend.

I noticed a recent post on The Parisian Gentleman FB (link) featuring the lovely side laced wingtips by Ms. Reiko Tsukui. I thought it would be nice to post it here since its getting so many `like`s

More pics

These were handmade MTO shoes made for the now defunct shoes collection made for Oguri Tailor, Kyoto.

No joke, Oguri tailor is one of the most inspirational tailor for me.

I really like his intrepretation of the glam 70s.

These are actually bespoke shoes by Saion, (faithfully) based on their client`s design & drawings.
Outrageous design? Yes, but I commend Saion for doing their best to realise their client` dream. Couldn`t have done better.

I don't find the patterns or design of the shoe outrageous, but the colour combination is special for sure.
Bet there's one cosplayer feeling really good about himself!

I do not envy the maker applying for CITES-certification for this shoe. Better remain in Japan.

^ Lol. I hope that is never taken on a business trip to the US. Beautifully made though.
