Customer Contribution: Arca in Olive

This week we recieved an update from Kevin (NY).

 

 

"Dear PC-blogspot.com,

The Leffot MTOs have arrived, and with them my Arcas in olive. These have purple piping and lining (not lime green and dark brown, respectively, as previously reported)."

My Wilfrids were made on the wrong last and so need to be remade, which gives me something to look forward to as I break these in.

 

Best,

Kevin"

Customer Contribution: Arca in Blue

Last week we recieved another very nice customer contribution.

The second contribution from Kevin (NY).

 

 

 

"Dear PC-blogspot.com,

This weekend my girlfriend and I were out for a walk and decided to stroll through Saks. Imagine my excitement when I came across this pair of Arca bleu in my size, which had arrived two days before. The toes and heels are an intense blue, with a beautiful fade to indigo and then black. The soles are purple. I was the first--and last--customer to try them on.

 

Best,

Kevin"

Customer Contribution: Bespoke loafer

A few weeks ago we recieved a picture from a bespoke Corthay loafer.
Unfortunately the creating process of this model is unknown, because the owner bought these shoes from an other owner with the exact the same measurements.

Thank you Paul !
 

Customer Contribution: Jouvet

Last week we recieved two very nice picture from the model "Jouvet", accompanied
by a vintage Vacheron Constantin 6272 in yellow gold.
.

The patine is in chocolat.

Thanks James !!

 

 

"The Jouvets were purchased in the Tokyo boutique in 2008. Many thanks to the very friendly staff who were most obliging in providing me with very speedy service with the patina application.

I was on a fleeting visit and had only a few hours to spare - fortunately the staff offered an immediate on the spot application - doing what would normally take a week's wait in only 2 hours!

A raw pair of Jouvets were polished to a lustrous chocolate brown patina with very careful and loving hands!

I cannot wait to make my next visit and express my sincere appreciation!

Best regards to all Corthay conoisseurs,
JAMES"

 

Customer Contribution: Arca

Today we recieved a very nice picture from some Arca's in action, bought at "Shoes & Shirts", Maastricht, Netherlands.

The patine was created by the owner since the original colour was damaged.

 

 

Customer contribution; Chukka, Vieux Bois

Today we recieved a very nice picture from some Chukka's in action, bought at Leffot, NY.

 

 

 

"Hello,
I recently bought my first pair of Corthays from Leffot in New York, and placed a special order for two additional pairs.

Your blog was a great resource while I was considering different color, piping, and lining combinations, and I hope that by contributing my photos to it, it will become even more useful to more people.

So, attached is a photo of my shoes in action: model Chukka in vieux bois. I'll send photos of the additional pairs when they arrive.

Thanks for creating a great resource for shoe enthusiasts.
Best, ....... "

Thomas Kalflo & Marty in front of Maison Corthay, 1 Rue Volney, Paris

Dear Pierre Corthay Blog,

Please find photos of my little Corthay collection - consisting of:

 - Bella boots in blue suede
 - Arca in brown
 - Wallet in blonde croco

All items were purchased in the Paris store with the help of Corthay's lovely Thomas Kalflo.

My favourite is the Bella's, Thomas showed these to me and I fell in love with them immediately. Thomas advises that the Bella’s in blue suede were originally made for shop staff in a limited run, but Thomas had one pair left in my small size - from what he tells Pierre wasn't able to source this suede again so I have quite a rare beauty!

As you can see I am no photographer, but hope your readers will enjoy.

All the best,

Marty
