Few bespoke shoemakers push the artistic boundaries in the same way as Atelier du Tranchet / Tranchet Vif. The French makers have a style that leaves no one indifferent, here they have interpreted the Japanese cherry blossoming season in a sample shoe that is extravagant as it is well-made.
Notice for example the hidden sole stitching, the subtle size-varying punching along the facing, and the nicely executed bleaching of the red smooth leather parts which takes down the punch of these shoes in just the right way. Those interested to hear Christophe Corthay of Atelier du Tranchet talk more about shoes and art, go listen to this episode of the Shoegazing Podcast.
