G.R.P. Shawl Cardigan Sweater
Since 1973, GRP knitwear has been manufactured in the Tuscan hills near the city of Florence. The craftsmanship in this area of Italy is unmatched by any other and from what we’ve seen from GRP, we’re certain you won’t be disappointed. “The Tuscan factory of G.R.P. has been crafting fine knitwear for over 35 years. Tucked away in the village of Carmignano on the Medicean hills, skilled artisans use the finest quality yarns and trimmings to create these luxurious garments.” This knit shawl cardigan sweater comes in an effortless grey/black finish with ribbed cuffs and hem, allowing the warmth to stay and making you look good while doing it.

Maison Martin Margiela Fall/Winter 2011 Two-Toned Leather Boot
This is nothing like the Margiela footwear most of us are accustomed to seeing as it’s a bit more mature and can be dressed up or dressed down, something we can’t say for their sneakers. The upper features tanned leather paneling that takes up most of the ankle and rear portions and features a unique asymmetric cut on the side to boot. The remainder of the upper is a bit more rugged but contrasts well with the smooth leather paneling. Look for this boot now at Maison Martin Margiela stores worldwide as well as select retailers.
