Napoléon Gaillard Leather Derbies
An extraordinary shoe that marries a classic derby shape with a mountain shoe. A masterpiece of craftsmanship as an ode to the legendary French cobbler Napoléon Gaillard, hero of the Paris commune, who would surely be impressed by the sophistication of this piece. Fully crafted by hand and welted using the extremely rare Goodyear technique. Leather nailed sole with triple nailing detail and hand-screwed Triumph metal tip. European raw calf leather tanned in Japan. Waxed shoelaces. The production combines the highest level of traditional craftsmanship with innovative techniques such as high-precision laser-cut decorative motifs with an original design with a starry frieze and the Three Mountains seen from Mürren.
