CarréDucker shoes and boots

About two or three years ago I saw the below pictured boots and shoes from Carré-Ducker (duo Deborah Carré and James Ducker) bespoke boot & shoemakers from England, and I wanted to own these boots and shoes. The duo shoemakers also offer shoemaking classes and are in collaboration with English bespoke tailors Gieves & Hawkes and Stowers bespoke tailors. Simply love the creations below.

Two toned Derby boot, the colours black and tan are just wonderful.

Ivan Crivellaro - Blues for the Monk and Loafer

A while ago I blogged about bespoke boot and shoemaker artist Master Ivan Crivellaro here. For today I have sampled two/three of his latest works where the Master simply went blue, furthermore he pushed the soles ("soul's") of the monk to higher demanding level. The sole work of some of the creations are just so great, I suppose this will be Master Crivellaro's signature on his art works. Simply adore the "Blue" theme. Wonderful Master Crivellaro.

A blue double monk, yes. The sole (soul) of the monk very picturesque, plain art.
