I've been seeing Golden Goose boots in Barneys for quite some time now and I have to admit, I first thought these boots were way overpriced. I mean come on, they may be handmade in Italy, but to retail for over $1000 and look these worn? But I decided just yesterday that I now find these charming! Especially when I found out that these are super comfy! And I am a major sucker for comfort that comes with style!
It wouldn't hurt if I add Golden Goose shirts to my wish list (take note, this is just a wish list and not a shopping list! Haha!) too. According to Vogue, Alessandro and Francesca Gallo, the couple behind Golden Goose, got their tailor friend in Venice to use 100-year-old techniques to do all the seams and finishing. The buttons are exact reproductions of vintage buttons, and some shirts are made of super soft cotton hand-loomed in India.
Suffice it to say, once these Wall Street jitters are over, consider my goose cooked!
