Yeah, quite. Mad spenny. But then, are they the only English shoemaker owned by a major fashion house? I'm not aware of any others. So, sales model must definitely impacted by the parent company. Just the photography on their website. Clearly trying to turn English shoemaking into a lifestyle thing.
Jesus - a pair of Shannon's in the US is $850! That's more than C&J, Carmina, Tricker's, Alden. Everyone. For a pair of calf derby's. That's a very hard sell. You can grab cordovan from the above manufacturer's for less than that.
The headers of Church's versus C&J says it all really. C&J = shoes. Church's = two models wearing Prada gallivanting down a beach, carrying their shoes...
