The Thousands

If Carrie Cooper needs an introduction, let me give you one. Deep breath. She was taught by a Portuguese cobbler, went to work under the big guns – the McQueens and the Willhelms in the motherland, designed for Ksubi (pre-GFC fallout), joined the Mascitelli brothers in starting The House of Last, and launched her own footwear label, Beau Coops. This lady doesn’t take no for an answer, she takes it for a ride.

The Autumn/Winter collection, Fall, Stand, and Deliver, takes you back to a dandy ol’ time when shoes were cobbled, heat came from fire and pelts, and over-compensation was unnecessary. Stripped back, Charlie Chaplin, old world vs. empirical downfall, and new-wave Euro punk rock. It’s all in there. The men’s line includes classique hi-topped sneakers and the women’s, leggy boots that scare old man winter away with their sheer beauty. Made in Italy with designs in suede, leather, felt and patent, these timeless shoes can do nothing but beckon your tootsies to take’em for a ride today.
