Nigerian Leather Goods Label Shem Paronelli Holiday 2012 Shoes
The collection effortlessly resonates “luxury chic“; an
essence not easily articulated in men’s footwear design. The
“nightlife” theme comes through as the use of such rich and luxurious
materials as patent,suede and nubuck was employed in pitch black,tan
brown and coffee brown respectively. Such unique features of the
collection includes sharp and decisive cuts, the intelligent fusion of
the different materials such as suede and patent, black and brown

METHOD X DENHAM -JOURNEYMAN: A Steamer Trunk for a Jeanmaker
The respect between the design team at Denham and the team at Method was mutual from the onset. We rant on and on about "worshipping tradition while destroying convention" while Callum Robinson and Marisa Giannasi had
been busy crafting their own design concept based on exactly the same
creative ethos. Honestly we didn't contribute that much to the project
beyond cheering Callum and Marisa on from the sidelines as they
undertook some 300+ hours of pure craft creation to realize our combined
vision. The result speaks for itself.
