Oh, where to start, so many arrived today - all of them beautiful. So who gets to go first? What's that? Okay, Calabria it is. Three colors to choose from, balck, Steel Blue, and Burnt Orange, mmm, mm!
Next up, Calabria's sassy neighbor Pocomo, on an espadrille wedge and available in three colors, Navy, Tan, and Burnt Orange. Pocomo's cousin Cow Cove (don't ask, I didn't name her) comes in two colors, Turquoise and Tan. And lastly, a pair of flirty sandals taking inspiration from New York City neighborhoods, Canal Street and Bleeker Street. Canal Street is shown in Black and Bronze, and is also available in Purple nubuck, and the Bleeker Street comes in Black as shown.Call with questions, phone orders gladly accepted.
I'm pretty excited about their arrival, mostly because Clarks has done a great job taking silhouettes that have been co-opted by thirteen year-olds in too skinny jeans and making them siutable and tasteful for grown men. The Redbone and Bloodhound accomplish this well, updating classic vulcanized lace and slip-on styles with suede uppers and sublte distressing. The Newton Highlands does similarly with classic deck wear, bringing sophistication and comfort to a nautical inspired loafer. Ahh, classic looks... for grown-ups.
Below, the Redbone in Grey suede, the Bloodhound in Blue suede, and the Newton Highlands in Navy leather.
I'm also excited about the Originals that showed up today - three styles, the Desert Boot, the Weaver Boot, and the Desert Trek - each marking a point in the history of Clarks footwear. The Desert Boot, introduced in 1949, followed by the Wallabee (of which the Weaver owes its heritage) in 1961, and lastly, the Desert Trek, debuting in the early seventies. All three are classic silhouettes that pair well with everything from denim to flat-front khakis and will bring sophistication to wardrobe.Below, the Desert Boot in Taupe distressed leather, the Weaver Boot in Oakwood suede, and the Desert Trek in Beeswak leather.
You are invited!
