I’m not religious

IMG_0062But I love Church. Established in 1873 in Northampton, England, they are apparently still making brogues the old-fashioned way. I love the timeless, yet chic style, and the pragmatism. Of course, they are owned by the Prada group, which makes perfect sense, as Muiccia and her team make whimsical, yet somehow practical stuff that is always super-comfy and long-lasting.

Women in particular—when was the last time you purchased shoes that you expected to wear until they fell off your feet, and that came with meticulous instructions on care? In today’s fast fashion culture it’s great to see that great making by hand is still appreciated and people invest in their belongings and are not hamstrung by mode or convention—regardless of the proselytizing of high street.
