Decided to get them professionally shined while on a trip to Hong Kong. Great decision. They honestly looked better than new when she was done. Worried for a minute that it would ruin my patina, but patina for me is about graceful aging and I plan to maintain these beauties for at least a decade to come.

I knew that for my first dome I needed something g I could wear to formal work settings as well as being comfortable enough for travel and extended wear. I had recently had a pair of penny loafers that I destroyed and was looking for a new pair of shoes to replace them. I came across this small brand from my hometown and thought it would be perfect. Loved the colour and shape of them. They’re sleek and stylish while remaining understated and sensible
Maker gave me guidance based on other brands size of shoes I already owned
Ordered online, wasn’t sure about sizing so I emailed them. To my surprise, the owner emailed me back promptly and helped me choose the perfect size. They were then made to order and delivered right in time for the dome
