Saint Crispins-shoes of the week

Saint Crispins based in Vienna (Austria) is the new kid on the block of "Bespoke" shoemaking in Austria.  Note that Vienna has several well respected shoemakers, for example the venerable Scheer, Materna, Maftei (also a new comer), Petkov, just to name a few.
The company was first registered in 1992. Saint Crispins do produce some very elegant, classic styled shoes for their clients. Since 1992 SC has provided shoes to an international clientele of gents. 


Below you will see some very interesting colours and well made shoes. I want to own all.

Blue loafers with lighter blue strings
 A chiseled double monk

 A derby boot that can match Berluti (art sketches)
 A tricolour brogue balmoral boot, interesting
 The artistic sole with owner initials

Exotic leathers (Stingray, Elephant and Ostrich) - Vienna

For most Gents, when speaking of exotic leathers for shoes, crocodile and alligator comes to mind.
Speak of Stingray, Elaphant or Ostrich hides, most Gents think one has been looking deeper into a glass of singel malt. 

The Viennese (Austria) bespoke shoemaker Mr. Petkov creates very beautiful and elegant shoes with the fore named hides. No doudbt that the traditional Astro-Hungarian shoemaking fingerprints can be observed on all of the creations.

Austria, Vienna has the most venerable bespoke shoemaker Scheer, where Mr. Petkov learned the art of shoemaking.
