Outdoor Style for the Elegant Man
"Country life is no longer separate from elegance and style. Country life has become a way of living," says Michel Perry.
He drew strong inspiration from forests, which are brimming with untouched nature and also serve as gathering places for country sports enthusiasts, to create the "COUNTRY GENTS" collection.
The "COUNTRY GENTS" Collection Promises Quality Time
The collection features Derby shoes, Oxfords, and ankle boots. Perry explains, "Business meetings, Sundays spent in the countryside, a drink on the terrace, a weekend in a European capital, a wine tasting... Country Gents can be worn anywhere, for any occasion, expressing your individuality and refined taste appropriate for the setting. Please wear these shoes, which offer a touch of modern elegance, wherever you go."
J.M. Weston's Elegance, a Design with a Lingering Scent
The signature six-eyelet Oxford shoe from the Country Gents collection features a cap toe and double stitching around the eyelets as accents. Crafted with a Goodyear welt and a double sole, it offers a blend of traditional and modern aesthetics.
The Flora Golf Wingtip Derby is an homage to equestrianism and noble field sports. The stitching reinforces each large leather piece, accentuating the leather's character in a fresh way. A leather notched lace is integrated above the sole, reinforcing both the stitching and the leather.
The Flora Golf Wingtip Boot is designed to perfectly adjust up to the ankle without folding the leather, fitting snugly around the ankle bone. It utilizes a Ridgeway sole, ensuring the shoe's robustness.
