Priced at your fitting
The Marble Edit. One pair, painted once
A figure with its hands bound and its head thrown back, drawn along the length of the vamp so the body follows the line of the foot. The second shoe of the pair carries a winged head at the heel, with a crescent beside it.
Painted freehand in line and shade, in the manner of marble. One pair. Painted once.
One message with your city and we reply with two fitting slots. You hold the shoe before you decide, and nothing is charged online. Painted work is done after your fitting, so the painting is never lost to a remake. Ready 20 to 25 days from the day you order.
The shoe underneath
- Construction
- Hand-welted. The sole is stitched to a welt that is sewn to the insole by hand, eight to ten stitches to the inch, in waxed linen. Not glued, not Blake-stitched. A worn sole is cut off and a new one sewn on.
- Upper
- One panel of full-grain calf from collar to toe, 1.3 to 1.6 mm. No apron seam, no moc stitch, no seam across the top. Tanned in Pakistan.
- Colour
- Pale through the centre, honey at both ends. The toe and the heel are darkened by hand with a cloth, so no two pairs shade the same.
- Waist
- Bevelled under the arch: the sole is cut narrow by hand so the shoe shows a curved line along its side.
- Heel
- 22 mm, stacked from layers of leather and lacquered dark teal, with a dark replaceable top piece.
