The article series that followed all parts of the process of ordering a pair of bespoke shoes from Gaziano & Girling, from the measuring up through several fittings to the production of the final shoes. Here’s a summary and many pictures of the finished goodies.
John Lobb Paris shift from yellow to burgundy, H&M’s “quality shoes,” the secret of the neat insides of Japanese shoes, and cordovan is technically not skin. This is the topics in today’s post with mixed stuff from the shoe world.
In this post you will get to follow the manufacturing process and seeing the end result of my second pair from the Swedish bespokeskomakaren Janne Melkersson. For me, these are a bit extra special since my twin brother has made the hand sewn decoration stitch on them.
I quite often are asked what distinguishes shoes in different price ranges, and I’ve also written a lot of posts on this topic. Here I highlight one thing I have come to think of more and more recently when I look at the shoes, and that’s how the heel so to speak flows together with the upper part. An area where you in general quite clearly see a difference between shoes in different price ranges.
One series of articles that’s present on Shoegazing is this one called Italigente Uncovered, where I let you follow the work “behind the scenes” at a Swedish/Italian shoe brand called Italigente that I’m working extra for, and also come with input to us in different ways. In this first article (it’s nr. 3 on the Swedish site, and since the articles in will align I decided to start of at that number here too to not confuse things too much going forward) you will get a brief story about the brand, see a resole work on a pair of our shoes, get news regarding new models, and also give your input on which models we should go for to put in production next year.
