The First Impression

21 pairs
Curator's note

An interview begins before the first question is asked, and your shoes arrive before you do. The First Impression gathers black Oxfords, quiet monks and well-mannered Derbys, with the polish and cedar trees to keep them sharp. Made the traditional way, they are designed to be kept, repaired and passed on.
