This collection is a tribute to the art of traditional shoemaking, redefined through the lens of Art Deco elegance.
From the solemn elegance of the classic Oxford to the functional allure of the Chelsea boot, the Deco Collection traverses the wide spectrum of men's fashion with grace and versatility. The collection is rounded out with the impeccable craftsmanship of the Derby and the casual sophistication of the loafer, offering an array of choices for the discerning gentleman of today.
At the heart of the Deco Collection's uniqueness is its sophisticated finishing process. Each shoe undergoes a special two-phase dyeing technique that colors and then gently fades the leather by hand, imbuing it with an antique look that highlights its artisanal charm. This method celebrates the meticulous attention to detail that Church's is renowned for.
Drawing inspiration from the Art Deco movement, the Deco Collection's visual narrative is one of sleek architectural lines and decorative motifs that perfectly complement its classic shapes, deep burnt tones, and artistic finishes. This influence transforms each piece into a testament to the enduring appeal of Art Deco's aesthetic principles, seamlessly integrated with the timeless elegance of traditional English shoemaking.
The Deco Collection is a continuation of the brand's rich legacy that began in 1617 with Anthony Church, a master shoemaker in Northampton. This city, known for its high-quality footwear since the medieval era, serves as the backdrop to Church's enduring commitment to excellence.
