Herring Pissarro is a hand crafted ghillie fronted Derby or Gibson. It features a hand-stitched apron and split French toe to give it character. When you add the discreet panels and hand patination, you end up with a great example of top quality crafting that not many factories can make. These shoes are hand-patinated individually in the Carlos Santos factory so there can be a noticeable variation of colour from the shoes you receive to the picture on the website. We always strive to get consistency but in a hand-finished product this is not always possible and is a sign of quality. Please note that we would only advise using a gentle wax-based cream or polish to protect carefully hand-finished shoes such as these. Harsh products such as renovating creams, high solvent based products and rain protectors may strip the carefully applied finish. If this happens we will not be able to refund the shoes although we may be able to get them re-finished at the factory for you at your cost.
