Exotic leather shoes are not appreciated by most seasoned connoisseurs, the reason is not that they are bad, but that they are difficult to pair.
Classic menswear, in the current context, is still low-key, calm and timeless. Although the trend is becoming more and more casual, the fabrics are becoming more and more colorful, and the styles are becoming more and more stylish.
At the same time, there is also an evolution towards luxury, such as cashmere, alpaca, Escorial, lotus and other fabrics into more and more people’s wardrobes. But exotic leather shoes, because of the extreme eye-catching, only a few people prefer to hold them.
In the field of shoes that I focus on, there are a lot of opportunities for exotic leather, such as ostrich, elephant. seal, turtle, lizard, snake and stringay fish leather, all of which are amazing.

而今天,就要数英国的Ascot,曾经是Vass的代理,现在是全线鳄鱼皮了。
在我看来,虽然鳄鱼皮和款式并不相干,但这么多年的检验表明,乐福一定是最有生命力,旧化也完美的,如时另鞋履在2021中国Trunk Show上展示的这双。
而一片式牛津,则是炫技与震撼。
其次,拼接,尤其是小块拼接,一定是最多人能接受,而且质感提升极高的选择。
