Agree that is almost double the price of their RTW which Is pretty nice (Alessandro is gorgeous) and that is already quite expensive

That's shockingly bad even for Berluti...

3800 Euros ?????
I dont get it either. I think the regular brown ones cost about 1000 euros. Is this 2800 euros for the painted shark?

Maybe a big part of it is in the import duty

I think it must be a typo as this model is around 900 euros in the shops

Something strange with farfetch prices. It shows me Givenchy sneakers at over 1200 euros and Loro Piana at 2300 euros.

Very nice but if I were to make a formal pump, I would go with an English maker. G&G was telling me there is only 1 guy left who can do the pump stitch.

There's a whole post on blind welt stitching on Carreducker's blog. It produces the tightest, cleanest welt possible and likely it's the best option for traditional shoes for smart occasions.

Pump stitch is not blind welted; it's Blake stitch done by hand.
