Friends and family will concur that I have spent most of the last ten years in the same wardrobe. Silly as it sounds, you grow attached to the rags you live in when you rely on them as much as I do. These ruched leather boots – from an anonymous shoe shop in the backstreets of Aalborg – have done their time over and over again and now my trademark footwear has finally burst at the seams. How fitting that they spent their last days of service in my new stomping ground: by the sea.
