AK Signiture Derby

The design for these elegant apron front Derby shoes was inspired by pre-war dress models made in the town of Žiri in northwest Slovenia. Aleš Kacin has hand-sewn the pair and finished them with a goodyear welt construction, a leather strip that runs around the border of the shoe sole.
