This Time Last Week...

We were in Sydney and had just finished viewing the Bugatti Summer 2027 collection with Mark at Brand Equity

Early Tuesday morning, it was a flight down to Melbourne to check in on Gant and lock in some more key pieces for this coming summer, followed by an afternoon carefully selecting from the Canali summer '27 range with our longtime friend Luciano Azzaro

A busy few days but it's been just as busy since we got back. Lots of shifting stuff around and marking stuff down. Because our end of season Sale starts on Friday!

That means you have a couple of days to come in and have first look before the big sale stickers go up on the windows. We're still getting things sorted but why not grab something for yourself, or maybe someone else - Fathers Day is coming up.

See you soon.

Quite simply our best shoe yet from Calzoleria Toscana.

Hand coloured calf leather upper on full leather soles using the Blake Rapid construction.

All of our other formal shoes use the standard Blake stitch method, where the upper, insole and outsole are attached with a single stitch. The Blake Rapid method first uses an internal Blake stitch to join the upper and midsole, and then a second external ‘rapid stitch’ to then attach the midsole to an outsole.

While the Blake stitch method produces a lighter and more flexible shoe, the Blake Rapid is slightly heavier and stiffer. It provides more cushion and arch support, is very durable and easier to resole for a very long time. When the outsole does wear out, the cobbler only needs to cut the external rapid stitch to remove the old sole and replace with a new one. The internal stitching and upper is therefore not compromised. And this can be done many times.

We chose this shoe because of how elegant it looked in this colour combination and the detail of the grained leather piece around the lacing and top of the shoe. It has a slight chiselled toe and a very comfortable fit. We did not request the Vibram outsole this time as this shoe deserves to be seen as the true artisans from Calzoleria Toscana made it. A very special shoe.

Hand crafted in Florence, Italy and available instore and online now.
