Timothée Paris

Timothée Paris makes handcrafted shoes and sneakers. It is a Paris-born footwear house where French artisanship meets Japanese minimalism. The Beaune is a flat, supple loafer shaped like the original moccasin, with grained leather that shrugs off rain and a natural rubber sole that grips without hardening. The Louviers is a sneaker in Italian suede with a line of piping borrowed from Normandy's half-timbered buildings and a calfskin insole that shapes itself to your foot. The Cabourg is an understated sneaker in suede or smooth leather with a cushioned natural rubber sole. The pairs are made in Portugal, and you can buy them at The Local Merchants.
