–Edward Harrington, Founder.

Each pair of our double monk straps is handcrafted in Northamptonshire — the heart of traditional British shoemaking. Using full-grain calf leather and a meticulous hand-finishing process, these shoes are made not just for today, but for decades to come. The Goodyear welted construction allows for easy resoling, meaning these aren’t just shoes — they’re companions for the long road ahead.

-
Effortless Sophistication
The double monk strap bridges formal and casual, delivering the sharpness of an Oxford with a hint of rebellion. Whether boardroom or bar, you’ll never look out of place. -
All-Day Comfort, No Compromise
A cushioned leather insole and glove-soft lining mean these wear beautifully from morning meetings to late-night dinners — with zero break-in drama. -
Timeless Craft, Everyday Confidence
You can feel it the moment you fasten the buckles — that quiet reassurance only true craftsmanship gives. These are shoes that speak for themselves, so you don’t have to.

Originally worn by alpine monks for durability and protection, the monk strap has evolved into a modern gentleman’s essential. The double buckle adds a distinctive character, making it a bold yet refined alternative to laced dress shoes. It’s one of the few styles that can walk the line between tradition and individuality with such ease.

Perfect beneath tailored navy trousers or slim-cut charcoal denim. For business, weddings, or dinner in town — these monk straps elevate with minimal effort and maximum impact.
