    n.d.c. made by hand



    I personally love what they do and how their shoes look, both men's and women's. Personally, elongated shoes don't work for me (or so I think), but I like thier shape in general. They do just the right amount of elongating and pointing without making them look too Gigolo. I like the distressing job that they do, and a slighlty lived look. Some shoe makers tend to go overboard with the lived in look, making the shoes look simply used - Margiela is guilty of that - but these guys get it right. Their price points are decent, although climbing steadily.

      Limited edition:

      n.d.c.'s 'Pre World War' Brogues
      have been made using an original last from 1939. As World War II began,
      our factory ceased production because of material shortages and
      restrictions. By the time our workshop re-started crafting shoes in
      1945, the last was long forgotten in a factory cave.
      Only recently
      re-discovered, its design mirrors the finest of the era for footwear
      handcrafting. For shoe connoisseurs and quality lovers alike, these
      made-to-order shoes are a stunning classic.

      Artisan Handcrafting
      Each
      pair of shoes endures a 5-week crafting process from cutting to
      finishing. Each pair is kept on the last for 10 days to allow natural
      shaping. The upper leather is treated and polished using the most
      refined natural bees-wax, resulting in an understated deep gloss. The
      sole is tanned using a traditional two-month underground process. Each
      pair is dated, numbered and can be personally branded upon request.

      Cordovan Leather
      The
      most non-porous leather around, Cordovan is distinguished by its
      lustrous waxy finish, extreme durability and suppleness that easily
      moulds to the wearer’s foot. Created only in the traditional manner,
      this leather is put through a natural vegetable tanning process, hand
      stained, and then glazed and finished over a six-month period.

        Not shoes, but this would make a wonderful present



        n.d.c. is working in collaboration with the prestigious French knife producer Forge de Laguiole.

        In
        the centre of the Aubrac region, the town of Laguiole has been known
        for its’ knife making for centuries. Traditional craftsmanship combined
        with exquisite design make these beautiful and functional pieces among
        the finest in the world. Designers such as Philippe Starck, Sonia
        Rykiel and Wilmotte have all designed products for Forge de Laguiole.

        The n.d.c. knives are the first from Forge de Laguiole to incorporate leather in the design of the handle.
        Available in either vintage leather or luxurious lizard skin these n.d.c. knives are both elegant and unique.

            Hmm, not familiar with shoe terminology/jargon... what's a "last"?

              It's the wooden form around which the shoe is made... will vary as a foot does, in length, width, arch, etc.

                Correct; basically used to designate the tri-dimensionnal shape of the shoe. By combining lasts and detailings (wingtips, broguing, leather color, captoes, etc) a shoe craftsman is able to offer a wide range of models without reinventing the wheel every time they want to release a new one.

                        yum.



                        Malek, I think these days they should run you about 500EUR. When these pictures were taken they'd probably run you 400EUR.
