II. QUALITY

We all know him and we're all afraid of him!

Production fears it, the shop fears it, everyone in the shop fears it. A quality man with an eye like a hawk, who can't miss a loose thread, a crooked sole or a wrinkled leather. Loved by customers, respected by manufacturers and hated at the same time. It's his role! The role of the saviour of quality, perfection and non-concessions. A man who doesn't compromise! Ayllaman 007 with permission to scrap!

And thanks to our master of perfectionism, every year there are a few gems from our collection that don't make it to the world because of their "imperfection". They usually become our favourite pieces - worn by us, the manufacturers and the retailers. But this year? This year, our detailer probably made a new resolution and threw a few of those shoes out of production.

None of us would have recognized anything with the eye of an ordinary mortal, yet they made it, perhaps a little unfairly, onto the Grade II list. And since each of us has only two feet, just enough relatives, and there aren't a hundred of us working in the company, we'd like to offer you these boots at an irresistible price.

Choose great pieces with minor flaws that you'll search for by lamplight all evening, often in vain.
