For today - Masaru Okuyama creations

For the day I have sampled Master Masaru Okuyama creations. Master Okuyama  learned the bread and craft of shoemaking from Master Chihiro Yamaguchi (Guild of Crafts). Master Okuyama opened his bespoke workshop in 2008.  

Enjoy the creations and have a pleasant weekend.

Shoes of the day - Marc Guyot

For the day, I have chosen some shoes from Marc Guyot (Paris, France). Mr. Marc Guyot offers very unique pieces of clothing, be it as ready to wear, made to measure or bespoke. His inspiration is from the American dress code of the thirties and forties.
As seen below he offers very unique and special shoes for the demanding gent.


With the shoes from Mr. Marc Guyot, I will wish you a pleasant weekend.
