Got these recently on Aussie eBay. Are they real Norvegese or fake stitching like my Stefano Branchinis? They have fato amano written inside as seen on Santoni etc.

Will big hats...ala Carmen Miranda...be next?

I know a guy in Seattle who makes clown shoes --bigger welts, bigger stitching, louder colours. (PM me and I'll send you his contact info.)
