The first shoe model that I’m showcasing for our London Tremendous Trunk Present 2020 is one which I’ve been most totally impressed with as of late. Though they’ve been round for a very long time, I really feel that in 2019 they actually began to indicate their true potential as shoemakers. And that is none apart from, Altan Bottier, of Paris.
They have been supposed to come back to the present final 12 months however sadly as a result of strikes within the French transportation system couldn’t get on the prepare that they deliberate to take to get to London. Let’s hope that this 12 months just isn’t the identical as I, like lots of you, are excited to see them!
Like many different French shoemakers, they specialise in patina, however what makes them stand aside from many different shoemakers is their skill to place lovely patinas on patent leather-based and suede. I’m notably keen on their suede wholecut oxfords which have patina on them, as you possibly can see the images. The patent patina is all the time spectacular however probably not my cup of tea. And the colour choices are countless as one would anticipate from patina, however what I like is the precise vividness of them. There isn’t any mistaking a coloration of theirs as it’s daring and powerful and never for the faint of coronary heart!
The footwear are blake stitched however to a really excessive normal, higher than most of what I’ve seen on the market. The leather-based is of prime grade French calfskin. You can learn a evaluation about them right here from a pair that I acquired a number of years again. I used to be most totally impressed as one would possibly anticipate from my phrases on this put up. Extra lately I’ve been carrying the boots highlighted and love them!
We’re excited to have them aside of this 12 months’s present and are positive that lots of you will see their footwear to not solely be enticing however of fine high quality and one thing refreshingly totally different to what you generally discover available in the market in the present day. I can think about lots of you getting a pair of suede wholecuts once you come, and you may thank me later ? ! (costs round €600)
