Legres

Stripping itself of the superfluous, anonymous design collective Legres quietly launched its line of quality Italian-made footwear in 2019. Eschewing overly aggressive marketing strategies, the London-based label chooses to stay under the radar, focusing instead on time-honored craftsmanship and lasting design. Looking to the past for inspiration, Legres revisits enduring silhouettes and forms to deliver a collection of understated–yet–cool boots crafted in soft nappa leathers and suedes. Created in collaboration with traditional Italian artisans, Legres’ sleek selection of tall riding boots, moc-toed lace-ups, and western-inspired styles are deliberately devoid of hardware and embellishments, exuding a minimalist sense of refinement. While still maintaining an air of mystique, Legres has quickly amassed a global following, making the brand just as coveted as it is covert. In this age of oversharing and hyper-connectivity, Legres provides the perfect antidote by returning to a more artisanal model.
