Once again some snaps from the shoe world. This time about examples of how brand’s top ranges were developed after they made for others, about new top RTW/MTO offerings, and what calf leather could be back in the days.
In the Chiba prison outside of Tokyo, interns get the opportunity to learn how to make shoes by hand, and the shoes are available to order at an annual market. Also briefly about an article made by the news agency AFP about the Japanese bespoke shoe scene, among which I’m one of the interviewed.
I’ve spent the past week in Northampton, where among other things I visited several factories. Heres some curiosities that I snapped up during these visits. Among other things about buying hides from the right season, the emergence of the modern version of the Scotch grain leather, and why John Lobb Paris had to redo all their patterns.
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.
Those interested in classic shoes often follows many different brands, stores and people on for example, Instagram, Facebook and blogs, where just as in many other places, you can see clear trends. Of course when it comes to the shoes, but here I’d thought that I, in a not too serious manner, should put focus on the three most popular ways to photograph shoes right now. Also a note that Shoegazing’s newsletter now is up and running.
