Size indicated: 11, runs large.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe smooth leather in espresso shades adds depth to this pair, while the two buckled straps create a lace-free closure. The slightly elongated square toe and stitching that accentuates the contours create a bold silhouette, balanced by the understated dark brown. The creases in the leather show signs of wear and contribute to its patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leather interior bears the “BOTTEGA VENETA MADE IN ITALY” marking. The original leather sole is marked “Vero Cuoio”. I had the front sole re-treaded with a non-slip Vibram sole by VestiaireFMR in Geneva: a modification intended to extend the life of the pair without replacing the soles entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear with wool trousers with a turn-up to accentuate their line, or with raw denim jeans for a more casual look. The double buckle fastening adds character without resorting to a visible logo on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize indicated: 11 • Sole length: 30 cm • Runs large. Compare this measurement to that of a pair that fits you; it is not a foot length. No European size equivalent is stated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComposition: 100% leather, excluding buckles and added Vibram front sole • Made in: Italy • Period indicated: 2008–2013, under Tomas Maier’s artistic direction at Bottega Veneta, with no confirmed personal attribution for the model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery good overall condition. Visible creases from wear on the leather. Vibram front sole re-treaded by VestiaireFMR.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThese double monks illustrate a understated side of Bottega Veneta: here, no braiding or logo effect, but deep brown leather, a sculpted line, and the rhythm of the two buckles. An elegance that lets the material and proportions speak for themselves.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bottega Veneta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54921976545613,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/1181\/9085\/files\/IMG_3351.jpg?v=1793005960","url":"https:\/\/vestiairefmr.ch\/en-ch\/products\/mocassins-bottega-veneta-double-monk-en-cuir-brun-fonce","provider":"VestiaireFMR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
