Nice Post!
At first I didn't know what Corthay shoes are, and why they cost a bomb.
Curiously, I surfed the net for pictures of his works, and rarely, do I like every single piece of work an artist does. Maybe I like Berluti, but some of their designs are not to my liking; maybe I like Santoni, yet some pieces I doubt. I read about shoe construction, welting, leathers etc, and came to appreciate more the level of detail that Pierre puts in his works, that shows his passion for his calling.
Those who know me know that I like handmade "real" things, from the carpets I buy, to the preference to handwriting things, to the orchids I grow, even to the job I chose, to the level of friendship I forge with peers...we really buy the person's time when we purchase a piece of work. We exchange something for the soul they put into the work.
