The Essential: Part III
Flat waxed cotton laces from Italy, in a wealth of colors. I like these because they're not like Benjos or the others. These are actual dress laces, and the colors further obfuscate any line between casual and dress. These are more than a splash of color, they're a way of making the shoe foppishly elegant in a way that is entirely uncommon. These are made by Strupai. (A post on the ones I own, soon).
