A Bi-Color Pair in Patent Leather

"Our workshop in Limoges, France, is stocked with every material imaginable, from classic box calf to exotic leathers like lizard and alligator, as well as nubuck and suede. This special order allows you to add your personal taste to popular classic models, or to apply new leathers to the latest designs by Michel Perry, bringing your vision to life," says Christian Piat, President of J.M. Weston Japan.

For this order, I chose a combination of navy and grey patent leather for the classic loafer base (Details on how to order).

Comfortable Fit from the First Wear

Opening the special box for the special order, the loafers appeared with a beauty that exceeded expectations. By choosing a light grey instead of white for the bi-color combination in navy, the resulting palette achieved a sophisticated harmony that suits the upcoming season.

Trying them on without the shoe trees, the snug feeling I experienced during fitting transformed into a comfortable embrace, without any sense of tightness. They feel ready to be worn comfortably right out of the box.

President Christian Piat remarks, "The possibilities for special order creations are endless. Japanese customers, in particular, love the ordering process and eagerly await delivery. We accept orders year-round at our shops, so please enjoy creating your own special order."
