GEORGE – A True European

GEORGE stands as a quintessential Plain Derby: compact and form-fitting, characterized by military austerity and metaphysical resilience.

With László's characteristic manufacturing at a traditional site in Hungary, using premium box calf and pit-tanned sole leather from Southern Germany, and shaped on an English last, GEORGE is also a true European – excelling in any setting. Only at strictly formal Old Economy-style events like the opera, weddings, or board meetings does the more elegant Oxford surpass it.

The GEORGE model is produced in width G½, corresponding to a normal, medium width.

Derby

The Derby shares with the Blücher a restrained, adaptable appearance. Its practical Derby cut also ensures the same high utility value. However, it presents a more civilian look with its side seam, without fully shedding its uniform-like aura. This isn't necessarily meant in a military sense. For instance, architects are naturally inclined towards uniformity, often preferring solid constructions in clothing (dark suits) and shoes (Derby), choosing to invest their time in their work rather than personal styling.

The character of the Derby shoe varies with the last shape and color. Close-fitting forms in dark leather appear more classic, while elongated Mediterranean shapes in light hues highlight fashion innovation.

The quintessential Derby is the Plain Derby. In its consistent lack of adornment, it has remained unchanged for a century because it continues to prove its worth. Never change a winning style.
