THIERS Universal Works /JANNU MIEL-LIS/VEL CAFE

This 1960s-inspired model is back in the spotlight thanks to a collaboration with English brand Universal Works. Its distinguishing feature is the use of leather on both sides: smooth on the grain side and textured on the flesh side, like velvet. A way of showing that beauty also lies in the imperfection of materials and the uniqueness of craftsmanship. A removable fringed placket adds an original touch to this model – Traditional last with slightly short, rounded toe – Made in France – Blake stitching, unlined leather – Gum sole
