They are the Brackley. Is Towcester an oxford or derby?

Bespoke loafers a few days before getting finished.
I think these have potential to become the godfather pair for all band-aid coloured shoes (mustard suede sounds rather like a swedish dish anyway).

That might be "buttercup" or even "peanut brittle." Really.

I remember them, they’re the ones who decorate their showroom with other people’s shoes

Yes, Calogero told me about that picture, but I dont remember the story behind it.
They are good friends with some pretty important people in the fashion business, I think a Japanese journaliste who also frequently writes for the Rake had something to do with that photo.


Oh, if you're so much the avenger of the shoe making scene, did you ever talk with Silvano Lattanzi about Berluti?

Spoo - your Towcester's are closed balmorals, Jreigen's Brackley's which are open bluchers.

Both are awesome
