Based in rural upstate New York, the Aurora Shoe Company has been making quality shoes by hand for both men and women since the early 1990s. All materials are sourced domestically--including leathers from Horween and Vibram soles--and assembled by skilled artisans. While their staple slip-on, the Middle English, isn't going anywhere, the folks at Aurora recently introduced their first new men's design in more than 20 years. The North Pacific is a stylish, full-grain leather chukka mounted on a sturdy Vibram sole. If you order, they recommend sending tracings of your feet to insure the best fit. After all, comfort and long-lasting wear are of the utmost importance.
Tenue de Nimes is one of your favorite stores in Amsterdam. Both locations showcase exceptional taste and employ some of the friendliest and most knowledgable staff out there. You were excited to see their latest collaboration with Travelteq, a brand that you've featured, on a limited edition of 30 handmade "Trash" laptop bags. Each piece was crafted in Italy from Florentine Vacchetta leather and Japanese selvage denim. Both the leather (€545) and "inside out" denim (€450) versions are available online through Travelteq and Tenue de Nimes.
Age Carriers is a new California-made luggage brand. Their debut "Shelter Collection" includes a range of bags and leather goods (backpack, briefcase, zip pouch, and key fob) made with U.S. Military tent canvas from the Vietnam War era.
