My understanding is no, and they don't plan to. If you look at the Artista line, you're getting a lot of things you get in shoes closer to the 1k range. It's surprising to see the price on them, the Artista is my next purchase.

I'm right there with you Andrew0409! I've been in a debate with myself for a few days now, on which maker of shoes that I want to treat myself to. Another down side to this lock down is...........increased internet shopping! Ha! What to do....what to do.........Carlos Santos......Carmina.......TLB........? Hmm! Oh, the struggle is real my friend!!!!!

I was going to buy Carmina, but from what I can see and from a few other people who have Carminas, they say the Artista line offers more. The waist is just incredible and looks really beautiful.

Man I don't think that you can go wrong with any of those choices! I am by no means, any authority on things.......I'm uber new to all this high end footwear thing! But I have been researching the players and the price point we're talking here, and Carmina, Carlos Santos, and TLB seem to be the heavy hitters here, as far as I can tell, especially at this price point. Just a newbie's point of view here! Ya'll take it for what it's worth!

i'm a newbie like yourself too. I've just got myself a pair of Carmina black oxford and I'm already eyeing those brown suede Artista. sleek shoes at good price point they have.

From what I've of heard, TLB is also sold in France through this brand: https://www.prince-jorge.com/

I feel ya Kudu08! I don't know why I've not gotten sucked into the realm of the "high end shoes" before! I've always enjoyed customizing anything that I'm interested in! Cars, etc.! Want a good laugh.........I'm an American Scot, very deep into my particular lineage. Not that "Braveheart" or "Outlander" romantic ****! That's nowhere near an actual representation of Scotland, then or now! Yet, .....I digress.......back to where I was. I like to sport the kilt! Much like MTO or GMTO shoes, all my kilts are bespoke, custom kilts. I've more of them than I care to admit!! We'll keep that between us! Ha! Anyway.....this kinda habits are not for the faint of heart!

Regarding the anticipated cordovan collection, due to the coronavirus situation, it has been postponed. It's mainly since sourcing of material hasn't been possible, when corona has businesses closed. Toni will let all know once things are back on track and it's on its way,

Can you post a pic; the suede loafer is on my short list.

I just received a pair of loafers on the goya last in burgundy from Skolyx. The last forepart is exactly the same as crockett and Jones 341. The heel is much narrower and cut close.

The last is more elegant and sleek than the CJ 341. I am also tempted by the dark brown suede ones ...

I’d like to see them as well. All of a sudden......I’m interested in suede! That’s what happens when you’re locked up and just looking to spend your money on something!! (Not spending on any o you all, sorry!) Suede photos please! ?

All will be presented when all details are settled and it’s ready for launch.

This pic is from a customer who ordered the double monk shown above. Only 6 months or so after he got them (and don’t know how often they are worn), but something:

Do you recall what last this is?

Lol what? Are you saying they look dirty in the new pics? It's just color variation in the suede depending on what way the nap is brushed and laying. The suede is actually quite nice too.

Didn't notice this one three years ago, at least I had something to do then; I fully understand nap etc but the basic colourway of this is semi-dirty. The others illustrated are fine and worth a punt.

It’s the Alan last.

It’s the Alan last.

Thank you, would you happen to have any photo on the Goya last Monks? I am wondering how the Artista Monks look like on feet.
