Church’s new accessories collection proves they don’t just do brilliant shoes
The St. James leather goods collection has all the hallmarks of an instant classic
Words: Joseph Bullmore
Church’s means shoes. And shoes mean Church’s. But that doesn’t mean the veteran Northampton cobbler can’t flex its experimental muscles once in a while.
Enter the Church’s St. James leather goods collection — a happy break from the world of footwear for the quintessential English shoemaker. And it’s got all the hallmarks of an instant classic.
Constructed in elegant printed calfskin, the collection is characterised by its timeless silhouettes — including a range of wallets, briefcases and essential travel accessories.
Each piece is made with the aching attention to detail that you’d expect from the artisans over at Church’s. The signature ‘St. James’ manufacturing process involves more than 100 individual steps, each completed by hands by skilled craftsmen. The leather goods are then marked with the ultimate seal of approval — a subtly embossed Church’s logo. A collection to covet from a brand we adore.
