GJ Cleverley - whole cut slipper with side gusset

For the day I have sampled a whole cut slipper from GJ Cleverley establishment in London. The GJ Cleverley house is merely a bit over 50 years but wow, the shoes from this firm are quite a mouth full. This piece of bespoke suede shoes is made of a one piece of hide, has no brogues, stitchings or any ornamentals on it. Just plain, simple and bespoke. Enjoy and appreciate the simple but artistic rendition of this shoe.

Whole cut slipper/bootie with side gussets in the neat Cleverley chisel toe. Stunningly simple and elegant, sleek, classic and timeless.

For today Spigola Japanese Bespoke Shoemaker (Koji Suzuki)

For this morning I want to display works from Japanese Bespoke boot and shoemaker Spigola (Koji Suzuki), who makes stunning beautiful shoes for his clients. As I earlier mentioned, it is very seldom we see Japanese bespoke creations in Europe. Japanese creations are non existent in the Nordic, not sure if any of the gents from the Nordic can name a single Japanese bespoke shoemaker. A pity.

The crusted leather Derby boot

 This design and combination I have never seen before, oxford side gusset, whole cut leather with laces. Very unique.
