A Niche but Real Favour of Old Money, Butterfly Loafer

In recent years, the style of quiet luxury represented by Loro Piana and Brunello Cucinelli, and Ralph Lauren, is in full swing.

On the one hand, it is a fight back of logo fever/logomania in previous years and a “rebellion” (rebellion is generally used to describe young people, but this time it seems to be the other way around);

On the other hand, many brands have joined the ranks, such as Zegna, which has long been the represent of business, embraced them with all their strength.

Unboxing Oatmeal Suede Butterfly Loafer New from Carlos Santos

I’ve always been quite critical of Carlos Santos’ best-selling Elliot around the world because, well, it’s so featureless.

Although the lack of features is precisely why it sells the best, as most people don’t want the shoes to be special, plain is good.

But I always feel that the object of leather shoes, as a practical object, is becoming less and less attractive and more and more abandoned by the society, so I can only look at it as a kind of artwork, and artwork, needs to be created.

Shoes that are just a little bit different and need to be mastered, or leather shoes, but give a little bit of fun to the person wearing them.
