For more teasers for the weekend I have sampled these brogues from Master Misawa Noriyuki a Japanese bespoke shoemaker. Let the appetiser's speak for themselves. Enjoy!

Gaziano and Girling for the day - MTO and Deco

For the day I have sampled some very unique Gaziano & Girling (a new revamped web site) shoes sourced from Calceom a shop that provides and sells G&G shoes amongst others. The sampled are made to order shoes from G&G MTO and Deco Line. Enjoy.

A black Oxford stitched cap toe from the Deco Line, a classic worth any wardrobe.

 Arran Chukka boot in suede, will look very nice for the early Summer.

John Lobb - Spirit of Capitals - Boots

The venerable London bespoke boot and shoemaker John Lobb (St. James), produced a collection of shoes named the "Spirits of Capitals", the collection was born out of a challenge for the house to craft a pair of shoes that would embody a city in the world. For the day I sampled two pairs of boots from the "Spirits of Capitals", a "Moscow" Balmoral oxford laced boot and a "London" Derby country boot.

The "Moscow" Balmoral Boot made for a Russian Opera singer, the boot is in different shades of browns and texture (leather and suede). The clients initials are hand embroidered in Cyrillic letters on the heel of the Balmoral ankle boot. The joys of going bespoke, lovely boot. Though a tad too much for my liking, meaning the initials.

The "London" Derby boot in gold Barenia calfskin and khaki canvas.

These boots in cotton canvas and calfskin are unmistakably London.

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.

An Oxford boot with medallion and oxford shoe with medallion. Lovely.

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