My favorite part of doing research on my trips for fashion is discovering new labels. Recently in Amsterdam, I discovered the classy men shoe brand called Church´s. A high-end English footwear manufacturer founded in 1873 by Thomas Church and his three sons. Precisely from Northhamptom, England an estimated production capacity of 5,000 pairs per week, 70% of which are exported all over the world.
The family business was taken over by Prada in 1999, 83% of its shares for US$170,000,000 The label now has 50 stores across central and northern Europe, America, Hong Kong, China, Singapore and Japan. The store in Amsterdam was super gorgeous very well designed, the window display was unique alternating different pair with one another.
These shoes are used by some heavy fashion-driven men in world and icons such as Pierce Brosnan in several James Bond movie, the American fashion Icon Tom Ford, and also by England´s ex-prime minister Tony Blair. The pairs take about 8-10 weeks to manufacture undergo hundreds of individual operations by hand to deliver the finest in hand- made footwear.
Its iconic characteristic is the golden crown from the Sovereign collection, often used on their models from leather dress shoes to velvet slippers. I recommend this brand to any classy stylish men and to any men who wants to make a top notch impression. I also suggest to young and stylish men who love different and unique pairs, such as these crystal embroidered sneakers shown below. Here are a few pictures taken by me at their store is PC Hooftstraat in Amsterdam. The last 2 were taken from an internet distributer.
Boys get ready to draw some major attention with your Chruch´s pair!
