French shoemakers are known for their extreme patina and that does not confine itself to the usual shades of browns, but goes beyond the colour palette. The Berluti house is most known for its artistic colouring of the shoes, so is Corthay. It seems patina of the shoe to this levels is mainly a southern thing compared to English antique aging of the leather. There are some Japanese bespoke shoemakers who take the patina of the shoe to new levels.

ReplyDeleteHi Thanh Quach,
DeleteSorry for the delayed response. I understand the submitted link is about your shoe offerings from Vietnam of I am not mistaken. You offer bot Blake constructed shoes and Goodyear welted shoes for both men and women, correct.? If your intent is to promote your shoes, I suggest you try Style Forum as a solid base, that is very useful.
If you need some help and consultation, I am willing to assist, though not my primary task.
Have a pleasant day.
Best regards
