A classic style, elevated by an unconventional design and a sophisticated buffalo leather sole with an eye-catching oversized welt.

Urban chic in its essence, this derby celebrates the man who understands craftsmanship and relaxed refinement.

how it is made.

Handcrafted in Italy and constructed from vegetable-tanned Italian buffalo leather, hand-dyed and buffered to create luxurious nuances and shades. Each artisanal brush stroke creates a unique patina which makes each pair one of a kind.

To create a distressed, urban look, this style also undergoes an exclusive antiquing process called stone washing, consisting of washing the shoe in open washing machines filled with water and pumice stones. The shades of uneven intensity are then emphasised through careful waxing and brushing.

The YORK collection features a beautifully welted profile and hand-built vegetable-tanned water buffalo leather outsoles, cut from the double butt of the hide. The authenticity of the material is confirmed by the characteristic wrinkles and lines that are sometimes visible on the sole, that we have chosen not to cover with rubber pads.

shoe care.

The YORK shoes and boots are all hand-dyed, stonewashed and treated for a worn-in, distressed look, so they don’t need to be kept pristine. They are meant to be lived in and become part of your story. The more worn-in, the cooler they become, displaying a lifetime of memories and stories.

That said, regularly caring for your shoes will nourish them, increasing their softness, water resistance and comfort. And, it goes without saying, the more you care for your shoes, the longer they will last.

Excellent quality and look

I received my Yorks a few weeks ago and have been wearing them in a few occasions. The quality seems fantastic and the craftsmanship as well. It looks as great as in the photos. Purchase, packaging and delivery were impeccable. Two things to notice and for which I give only 4 stars: 1) No half-sizes. I understand that these are ready-made and being quite expensive the company cannot afford to create also half-size stock. But I would be willing to wait 3-4 weeks for a half-size to be made. 2) As pointed out in the website as well, because of the all-leather sole, the shoes are *really* slippery on wet pavement, to the point of being dangerous. I had been warned but I did not expect it to be as bad. Now I hesitate to put them on rainy days, and we have a lot of rainy days in Belgium. A small (not full) caoutchouc layer would help a lot to make this shoe friendlier. But all in all, I am happy with my purchase and would buy again from this brand.
