Fred de la Bretoniere

The name of this shop probably makes you think of slightly eccentric French noblemen, but the man behind the franchise is actually Dutch. He first came to fame as an artist but then developed an interest in footwear and bags. His collection can be summed up with the following keywords: simplicity, elegance and feminine toughness. He is mostly known for the use of naturally tanned leather (the look of which only improves the longer you wear it), but also because of his hyper-feminine ballerinas and Shabbies (stylish boots). He might need to work a bit on his baseline ("for every sole a soul") but his creations are certainly as good as they will ever get.
