F-Troupe - Fall/Winter 2009 - Woven Suede Chukkah
Going for the quintessentially British look with an international appeal, London-based F-Troupe reminds us that one can update a classic by more than just messing with color and fabric swatches. Taking a different route, the label remixes the classic Chukkah by weaving stripes of premium suede to create a woven suede upper. These shoes reminds us of the days of colonialism where men donned desert boots and sat on weaved bamboo furniture, skipping scotch a la Sean Connery in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. For a piece of effortless cool, these are now available online at Journal Standard.
