Japanese Perfetto (that according to some people working in the industry is among the best shoemakers in the world) is one of the more distinctive manufacturers presented at Pitti Uomo.
Their secret and strength is especially the range of classic models (such as balmoral or button boots) executed with pretty unexpected mixtures of leathers, fabrics and patterns.
At the moment Perfetto shoes are not easy to find from Europe (according to my knowledge they have one retailer in Paris, France) but if you happen to bump into these, this is definitely a brand not to miss.

Carmina is at the moment one of the finest shoemakers on the market, some could say even the best at the price range in which it competes. They definitely are one of my personal favorites as well so for me it was one of the “compulsory” visits.
There are also breaking news for us living in Finland considering the brand. Carmina shoes will soon be available at Sauma.

Colors used are much natural, tones of blue, grey and brown but there are also strong colors such as orange, green and red bordeaux presented especially in the outerwear pieces. And as many others, Lubiam also had this season a bunch of outerwear pieces made of Casentino wool. This type of wool is a Tuscan tradition where the wool fabric is treated in such a way that it gives it a unique curled...
