Church's masterfully embraces the art of sartorial subversion. Borrowing from the enduring classics of the masculine wardrobe, it elegantly accentuates femininity. Whether paired with a flowing dress or crisp raw-cut denim, Church's derbies and loafers imbue every look with that inimitable "Preppy" yet structured sophistication.
A Church's shoe is instantly recognisable by its distinct lustre. The "Polished Binder" leather, a signature of the esteemed house, offers unparalleled brilliance and remarkable resistance to the elements. Crafted with a Goodyear welt, these are not shoes that merely age; they gracefully mature.
About this selection
Founded in Northampton in 1873 by Thomas Church, Church's belongs to the noblest tradition of British shoemaking. For more than one hundred and fifty years, its craftsmen have made shoes using Goodyear welted construction, a demanding process that guarantees sturdiness, comfort and the possibility of resoling, making each pair an investment for many years.
The Church's women's collection takes these masculine codes of English shoemaking and reinterprets them with an assertive femininity. Polished calf leather with its characteristic shine, brogue perforations, brushed leathers and airbrushed finishes make up a wardrobe of shoes that are both classic and contemporary.
Our Church's women's selection brings together the house's essential models. The Piper derbies in black polished calf leather, the Shannon lace-up derby in polished binder and the heeled derbies in burgundy brushed leather embody British tradition. The Prudence loafers in smoked black polished leather and the tassel loafer in ivory airbrushed leather bring a more relaxed elegance, while the Monmouth ankle boots in black polished leather see you through the cold season. More feminine still, the Mary Jane ballerina in ivory nappa with brogue studs and the ballet flats in burgundy polished leather complete a collection of women's leather shoes designed to last.
At Actuel B, we offer a Church's women's selection in our boutiques in Avignon and Arles as well as on our website, with delivery in France and internationally. Our teams advise you on sizing and on caring for your shoes, with the personalised advice that defines our approach to multi-brand luxury.
