Giacopelli and Dandy Shoe Care Collaboration - tassel loafer

A while ago a blogged about Giacopelli shoes from Parma (Italy) and at the time assumed that there was a working collaboration between Giacopelli and Dandy Shoe Care. Now I can cement that statement, indeed there is a connection between the shoemaker and the The patina Grand Wizard (Dandy Shoe Care).

As explained earlier, I assumed that Giacopelli and Dandy Shoe Care had a working relationship, and for the day I have sampled a tassel loafer made in Russian Reindeer hide by Giacopelli and handled and treated by Dandy Shoe Care.

Below depicted is a tassel loafer in Russian Reindeer hide before the Grand Wizard of Patina gives it an artistic hand treatment and care, and the look after Dandy Shoe Care treatment.
 The choice of the leather and patina elevates  the same shoe to higher and better dimensions. Judge yourself by comparing the pictures of the same shoe style. Compare to the last picture, the same shoe but different hide.

The same tassel loafer in a different hide handled by the Grand Wizard too. The above gives a dash and splash due to the texture of the hide. Stunning.

Giacopelli bespoke shoes from Parma

I recently came across bespoke boot and shoemaker Giacopelli from Parma, Italy. The Giacopelli house produces bespoke for both ladies and gents. The house has been producing shoes since 1976.
Their products are elegant, traditional mens shoes, very stylish and timeless. What caught my eye and interest in the Giacopelli offerings, was the very beautiful patina renditioned on almost all of the Giacopelli's products. 
I am almost certain that there is some collaboration between The Dandy Shoe Care and the Giacopelli house.  Why so ? Both the Dandy Shoe Care and Giacopelli are from Parma and a careful inspection of the patina seems to bear the indisputable dna evidence from Master patina Alexander Nurulaeff. 

Enjoy and inspect these beauties.
