Summer sale season is on, and every day now we get announcements from brands and retailers about sales starting. Here I gather a few interesting ones where you can browse around to make a good bargain.
The online giant Mr. Porter started their SS23 sale today, with up to 50% off loads of products, including a bunch of great shoes from various brands. Get your hands on stuff from for example Edward Green, John Lobb Paris, Tricker’s, JM Weston and others at a steep discount.
For bespoke shoemakers or aspiring ones, there’s a constant hunt for good tools. The fact that many of the best quality ones were made decades ago makes this even more difficult. Luckily, there’s a few good places to turn to, one of them is the online shop Shoemaker’s Toolmakers which sell vintage tools and shoemaking materials.
The next European bespoke shoemaker to launch a RTW collection is Mogada from Germany, the brand of Gaziano & Girling alumni Louis Lampertsdörfer. Premium hand welted very sleek classics that are just perfect on the eye.
Ichigo Ichie Shoemaker has set up its own team in Vietnam to produce a range of fully handmade RTW shoes, which now initially are offered at the impressive price tag of €470. A nice opportunity for those who want try something made a different way to regular factory-made Goodyear welted shoes.
