Dover | Unlined | Suede | Aqua

To mark the start of spring, we proudly present our latest Group-Made-to-Order with Edward Green: Aqua Suede Editions. Over the years, we’ve worked closely with the team to produce unique models exclusive to The Hand (remember the Oyster suede capsule?), and it brings us great pleasure to announce our latest one: the aqua suede Piccaddily loafer and Dover lace-up both of which are unlined for your comfort. 

Aqua suede is an exceptionally vibrant color described as a deep light blue suede with a tropical touch. Depending on the lighting, it frequently appears differently, enhancing its allure. With its blue or even tropical water look, these will pair particularly elegantly with light chinos, British twill or Japanese denim. Due to the delicacy of this color, we’ll return this sample to Edward Green so the people selecting the hides within the workshop pick the same color range. 

The Dover is Edward Green’s signature handsewn derby. The Hand’s version on the 202 last is unlined for a soft, light construction, making it ideal for summer, and you can wear it throughout the seasons. With single rubber R1 soles, it will keep you going all day long. Edward Green has been making the model since at least the 1920s. It is hand-sewn with a boar's bristle needle, one of shoe-making's most intricate crafts. The hand sewing on each pair takes over two hours to complete. A matching belt is available upon request. 

The cut-off point for GMTO orders is May 15th, and we expect delivery in September. To register your interest, please buy your unlined Piccadilly or Dover online or contact us through WhatsApp (+31 6 46 96 33 86) or email hello@meetthehand.com.
