The high end Chinese Shoe Thread
Totally Agree. Berluti is a big enough company to be able to constantly market its heritage (and perceived prestige) while expanding its huge offering. They may even flex their muscle and copyright the 3 eyelet wholecut design, just like what I heard they did for the term ‘Patina’. For a much...- nutcracker

The high end Chinese Shoe Thread
The bottom two pics are actually from the Trunk Show we did this past May at the Shoe Bar that we also operate (El Gato (ig: elgato_tw) I had a chance to have a side by side comparison with those particular Graziat version of Alessandro (called “Shallow”) and the real Aldessandro. In terms of...- nutcracker

The high end Chinese Shoe Thread
Bonaudo has a massive selection of leathers. Graziat does mainly patina shoes, so they mostly source the blank white leather from Bonaudo (forgot the model name but the same identical one with Berlutti’s Venetian), as well as their Cashmere Suede (also for patina). I believe their standard calf...- nutcracker

The high end Chinese Shoe Thread
Pretty much a yes. But also keep in mind that aside from the actual making, the shoe lasts, design / details, and importantly leather (sourced directly from tanners like Bonaudo) are all provided by Graziat. The end result is pleasantly different from what Xibao makes for themselves or others...- nutcracker

The high end Chinese Shoe Thread
Was an absolute pleasure being on your podcast Jesper! and also thanks for those who listen to this episode! Hope you all are doing better. While I do have a soft spot for Japanese shoes, I have been working ever closer with Chinese shoes lately. Graziat, the Taiwanese brand that I talked...- nutcracker

Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread
You have to be there in person to order the handmade shoes from Clematis. I have ordered 2 of his shoes before, and he will measure you up, and adjust the house last where it has to. You have some say in the upper and bottom design too. I believe that Yohei Fukuda RTW production is mainly...- nutcracker

Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread
If you really like the look of Yohei Fukuda, then the RTW may be the only viable alternative to his order made shoes. For that price, Clematis’s hand made line is also worth checking out, also no fitting.- nutcracker

Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread
Also worth mentioning.. ISETAN MEN’s doesn’t usually offer mirror-shine service, but they do have a nice dedicated shoe bar, where once month, they invite a guest shoeshiner to helm. Past shoeshiners include John Chung (Mason & Smith Singapore) Yuya Hasegawa (Brift H), Ishimi Go and Terashima...- nutcracker

Japanese Leather Goods/Accessories
They do have a similar feel, very Japanese in design. Obvious difference is that Acate is made in northern Italy (factory not revealed), but the quality is right up there. Color choices are calm and muted, very classy. Apparently they do very well in Japan, and has a dedicated nook at ISETAN...- nutcracker

Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread
For shoeshining in Tokyo, some nice choices are: Brift H in Aoyama TWTG (Shop in shop) at Union Works Shibuya `maestro’ Shoeshine at United Arrows Roppongi Chiba Special at Yurakucho (Kotsu Kaikan Building 1F): old street style shoeshining- nutcracker

Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread
Brift H cream is Good. Its cream based but has a low viscosity, so quite easy to spread/absorb (think Colonil 1909/Diamant). Although they come at a high price, I swear by it. Another Brift H product thats also good is their High Shine Cleaner. Works like a miracle in removing built-up polish...- nutcracker

ISETAN MEN`S in Shinjuku has a large collection of Bootblack Black Label. Tokyu Hands have the largest selection of shoe care products in general (even has the Brift H products), but they only carry the Bootblack Silver Collection (equivalent to blue Saphir)- nutcracker

Japanese Leather Goods/Accessories
Hi @bjhofkin A newcomer to the RTW leather bag scene is Acate Borsa. Its a Japanese brand, products are designed by Japanese, but the bags are being made in Italy. In many ways, they resemble SAIC or CISEI (other Japanese brands that are made in Italy). They almost exclusively use shrunken...- nutcracker
