Very rare on ebay: VASS Hand-Made
Shoes
I
am very lucky to offer some samples from this company, the
craftsmanship is absolutely impeccable: equal, or surpasses Kiton
shoes, for example.
All
these shoes are brand new samples, perfect and unworn, unless noted
otherwise.
Some
more information about Vass from the famous fashion writer Bruce
Boyer:
"When
most American men think of superlative handmade shoes,Italy comes to
mind. Or, perhaps for the more experienced customers, England. Only
the true connoisseur is aware of the legendary artisans who
flourished along the banks of the Danube in Budapest and Vienna in
the fin de siecle days of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
A
century ago the master shoemakers of the dual capitals of Budapest
and Vienna enjoyed a healthy rivalry and reputation which drove the
standards of the art and craftsmanship to new heights. For the
Budapest shoemaker, this quest for perfection culminated in a
uniquely elegant shoe - a full-brogued Derby with a high toe-cap,
which was named the "Budapester" in their honor. It is a genuine
classic.
Today
that eminent tradition is preserved and is carried forward into a
new age with Laszlo Vass. He has once again made Budapest a
destination for discriminating shoe buyers.
Recently
Vass has given this art a new impetus by creating a ready-wear range
of traditionally designed shoes, as well as a contemporary range
designed by Florentine shoemaker Roberto Ugolini.
What
differentiates this ready-made collection from the production of
other ready-made shoes of repute is that every Vass shoe is crafted
by hand in exactly the same way as the Vass bespoke shoes.
The
quality is such that, with proper care, they can last for decades:
exclusive top-quality leathers, hand-cut, -welted, -sewn, and
polished. Only the custom last is omitted from the meticulous and
time-consuming procedure.
In
the USA, Vass has gained recognition among aficionados as the author
of the definitive book - Handmade Shoes for Men.
The
traditional and contemporary ranges of ready-made Vass shoes are
available at select venues in the USA, including: Bergdorf Goodman,
New York Louis, Boston "
