Anyone know where those SS22 slipper loafers are from, or some good alternatives?

My first guess is La Botte Gardiane because they’re the ones who have made the sandals (and boots I believe) for DBF before but checking their site, I didn’t see this model

By the way, could you have a stab a describing what the cotton voile fabric is like, apart from light weight? Don't think I have anything in voile and have been curious.

Sure— light weight is the first description that comes to mind but in addition to that, I'd say the hand-feel is quite smooth– the fabric is dense for its weight, but still airy due to how thin it is. I worried it might drape in a weird way due to being so thin and while it does wrinkle as easily as you might expect from a lightweight cotton fabric, it has a nice rolling drape to it

Wicked, thanks!

Those were mine, and they are indeed the same fabric. The trousers have been washed once, and the jacket is unworn.

Damn I should have asked earlier, missed them. I was bidding on the jacket but wasnt sure they were perfectly matching.

Thanks anyway.

Did this shirt ever come in long sleeve?
Is it yet to be found somewhere?
Or does anyone have and maybe dont wear it as much as intended? If so, I am interested!
