Tardini

London is one of the four world capitals of fashion, together with Milan, Paris and New York and Tardini has always looked to the City as a source of inspiration for their collections: the discreet luxury, clean lines and elegant fabric with retro touches that can all be found under the banner of British Style. It is no coincidence that the “Tardini Green” chosen for the interior of our accessories came from the British aristocratic tradition.

Anyone who finds themselves in London cannot fail to be impressed by the dynamism of the many economic and financial activities that animate the City and beyond: international events, meetings, cultural entertainment, exhibitions and concerts. It may not have the climate of Barbados, but here are the reasons to pay a visit:

Royal Albert Hall, a splendid concert hall inaugurated in 1871 and the undisputed jewel in the crown of all London’s theatres. It hosts memorable performances every year. Many artists who have made musical history have graced the stage of this music hall including Bob Dylan, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton and Queen…

The Royal Opera House, built in 1732, stands in the characteristic district of Covent Garden and is the most important opera house in the United Kingdom, as well as one of the leading ones in the world. A charming feature of its façade is the stained-glass window embellished by Norman Foster which boasts the sophistication of Italian lace. The Royal Opera House is one of the wealthiest operatic theatre companies in the world, known and praised for staging both key works from the classical repertoire as well as for experimenting with more modern shows.

The slip on shoes have been known since long times that hail from Spanish Pyrenees in the 24th century, but the most primitive form dates back to 4,000 years ago.

This timeless shoe, during the time, has been remodeled in different ways, and Tardini spent his creativity and talent to metropolitan gentleman revisitation.

The White & Earth, slip on (ref. A6Z427), like the original shoes, are soft and lightweight. They are so different from everything that has been around to date, because they are made in American Alligator in “upside down” construction technique, sort of a Goodyear hybrid where the bottom is hand-sewn directly on the upper and absolutely without glues.
A small fussbett was wrapped around the foot sole to absorb impact to make the slip on more comfortable, ensuring the sole and upper are fully sealed, making them almost totally secure against external elements.
The White & Earth are absolutely perfect for an Italian Espresso in the  La Piazzetta di Capri, knows as “The Drawing room of the World”, or getting lost in the “calli”, the Venetian alleyways, surrounded by elegant buildings and artistic masterpieces of the Italian baroque.
