Today’s Favorites – Scarpe Di Bianco Loafers
While I own a bunch of loafers already, I recently am quite obsessed with the idea of more traditional looking loafers, and owning them. Not that these models are necessarily traditional, but they offer that ‘classic with a modern look’ feel, as well as offering nice shapes, colors and designs. Having never seen Scarpe Di Bianco in person, due to their newness in the industry, I am quite curious of them. From looking at them, they seem to be your run-of-the-mill high-end Italian makers, offering a black-stitched or goodyear welted sole, with some good quality upper leather. This makes me quite curious of the price though, which I assume will probably be in the $600-$800’s. Don’t quote me on that, but hearing that they are ex-Sutor Mantellassi gents who started it, I would imagine that they came into the industry at a lower price (to maybe low-ball Sutor which will set you back $900+). Regardless, their look is very Italian, which on some shoes is great, but others is not. For these loafers, I quite like the ‘Italianess’ of them though, as I believe that Italian gentleman have mastered the art of the loafer.
Nice post, their color finish and patina look great. Though the models have a few little flaws I myself not prefer in a shoe. For example they seem quite wide and not as versatile as other models out there like Markowski for example. I don’t have any pair of shoes by french makers but this brand is definitely going to change that!! 🙂
Julio – Thanks for the comment! I am in need of some French shoes myself!!
