After visiting Master Vass Laszlo's establishment in Buda-Pest, I could not get the John Lobb "Museum Calf" hide out of my head. So I looked around to find the different shoes made by John Lobb in this special antiqued hide. Now I am more than overwhelmed with the antiquing of the hide from the tannery directly. The hide has a almost interesting natural patina that is so beautiful, regardless the colour (be it Parisian, Plum etc). So I am even more anxious to see the outcome of my commissioned boot from The Vass establishment in Hungary. The hide will be from Ilcea tannery in Italy from the Radica offering.
All good things come in due time, so I am very patient. Enjoy the John Lobb renditions in "Museum calf" and have a pleasant weekend.

Love the Chelsea boots and the final brogues in that AMAZING ox blood / brown/ maroon color.. They are a gorgeous pair of shoes. You could wear them with anything and make the outfit look timeless . Well done thanks SA
ReplyDeleteHi Brad,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. True the Chelsea's are stunning. Funny that my favourite was the Austerity Full brogue from GJ Cleverley (from Anthony Cleverley range) - not the shoe design but the colour. I imagined these with a navy or dark grey/charcoal (flannel) suit or mid night blue suit in lighter weight and this colour. Wow!
Have a pleasant weekend.
Best regards
