Hand-Burnished Crocodile Derby

An exceptional expression of exotic shoemaking, this Derby is crafted in genuine crocodile leather and finished with a hand-burnished ombré patina. Layers of colour are worked delicately across the hide, creating a gradual play of light and tone that accentuates the natural geometry of the crocodile scales. Each pair carries its own interpretation of the patina, shaped by the character of the individual skin.

The sleek plain-toe silhouette leaves the exotic leather entirely uninterrupted, while the five-eyelet open lacing is finished with tonal waxed cotton laces for a precise, seamless finish. The restraint of the construction allows the craftsmanship of the leather to take centre stage.

Created for occasions where exceptional materials speak for themselves, this is a Derby for black-tie-adjacent evenings, distinguished formal gatherings, executive dressing and the most elevated of social occasions.
