Bohemianism is individuality made art, the natural expression of a creative impulse unconstrained by any rules save its own.

“Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom” -Friedrich Schiller //

“If you keep this up you’ll both go crazy...but let me know what happens as you go along.” -Jack Kerouac //

A Lee Downey masterpiece, this buckle’s rippling Damascus steel centerpiece sets beautifully against a hand-chiseled sterling silver backdrop.

“Style has no formula, but it has a secret key. It is the extension of your personality.” - Ernst Haas //

In its long history of hipster ascetics and high-society eccentrics (think Salvador Dalí walking his anteater in Paris), the bohemian ‘image’ has often changed, but its character has not. It breaks the rules not to make a point, but to make its own sort of art out of life. //

From pared down monk straps to ruggedly elegant brogan boots, Alberto Fasciani’s creations reflect both a mastery of leather as a sartorial medium and a keen, almost post-modern sense for reinterpreting historical meaning and stylistic effect.

Insulated with hypoallergenic goose down & a padded polyester lining, this is a very warm yet surprisingly breathable jacket—a true classic bomber (with a few modern amenities).

“I realized these were all the snapshots which our children would look at someday with wonder, thinking their parents had lived smooth, well-ordered lives and got up in the morning to walk proudly on the sidewalks of life, never dreaming the raggedy madness and riot of our actual lives” - Kerouac //

“he had no place he could stay in without getting tired of it…because there was nowhere to go but everywhere” - Kerouac //

Bohemian style isn’t just expressionist dress—it’s the spirit behind the expression, that common thread of possessed geniuses and fashionable eccentrics from Nina Simone to Oscar Wilde, the unconventional spirit whose medium is life, whose style is art, the art of spectacular individuality. //

“Whoever wears my footwear must feel as it belongs to him from the very first time, just like if he has spent his whole life with it” -Alberto Fasciani

Cordovan leather upper, leather lining & soles (with rubber shielding at heel), entirely handmade in Italy.

Though the equestrian lifestyle’s uniquely rugged elegance informs Alberto Fasciani’s aesthetic—his facility with leather’s expressive character and his sense for balancing beauty of form with fearless function are exceptional—he is (excuse the expression) no one-trick pony. Fasciani has an artist’s eye for marrying classic styles with modern design, the kind that speaks to a thorough appreciation of both history and technique.

Trim-fitting, rugged looking, quintessential Americana style. //

“One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.” -Oscar Wilde
