Although Church's is now part of the Prada group, it remains a byword for British style, thanks to its catalogue of classic brogues and dress shoes. All of the slippers, boots and driving shoes are impeccably crafted. The men’s welted shoes, a must for modern dandies, stand out: each pair takes eight weeks to assemble, leaving the brand’s traditional Northampton factory only after 250 production stages have been completed by hand.
