Many thanks to reader Eric for this brand, established in 1998. The factory in Foshan, Guangdong province.
It is said the owner has a great friendship with owner of German tannery Weinheimer. Truffaut is very transparent about the raw material.
About price, whether you use the top leather, or super top leather, handmade work hours are the same, then the final price should only respond to the leather price difference. But the reality is high grade stuff after more percentage of premium.
There are open channel Goodyear and composite sole. There is also full leather sole, and the price is not particularly distinguished.
The sole is not bad, and the heel center cross nail is very characteristic.
Special leathers aside (there is only one), shoes with Weinheimer leather cost around 1600 RMB, Italian leather and downwards, the price continues to dip.
The description of the goods on E-Commerce website Taobao is more modern and good-looking than my most respected Mattina and TGC.
Take a look at the shoes.
Remark
Loafers all use Blake Stitched Construction, and the price is also pulled to 800 RMB. Blake construction is intentional to pursue slim silhouette. At the same time, the loafer style and last type are nothing wrong. I have observed a phenomenon so far, that even if the shoe factory is not very good, the aesthetics of loafer models are okay.
Truffaut is the best for educating consumers, such as sewing structure, the difference between aniline leather and top grain leather.
