New Lattanzi on eBay

[khaki sack]

Good post. Having done bespoke, MTO, and higher-end RTW, I'm inclined to agree.

But with this post, I'm just concerned about the authenticity of the specific Lattanzis for sale. I mean, how many Lattanzi forgers can there be out there?

RTW. Never did Lattanzi bespoke, would like to at some point. My favorite Lattanzi shoes are suede NSTs which I never got around to photographing.

For a number of years i was thinking of trying them but never pulled the trigger. I went to the NYC store a week or so ago and there are two new guys there. They said that Anna left for a another job.

+1

And those shell cordovan whipstitch sandals upthread...

Am I wrong or are those shoes corrected grain? Even classy operators in Italy like de Tomasso are using CG.
