Richelieus Ashford in brogue leather with an internal lift
Ashford takes the codes of the dressy Oxford and combines them with a patinated full-grain cowhide leather, punctuated with brogue perforations. Its particularity comes from an internal height-increasing insert integrated into the shoe, while the exterior maintains a classic and structured appearance. Available in black and dark brown, the model naturally fits into an office, ceremonial, or formal appointment wardrobe.
Silhouette and details
The tapered toe visually lengthens the line. The laces maintain the formal aesthetic of the Oxford, while the brogue details add texture without transforming the model into a highly decorative shoe. The patinated finish brings out the nuances of the leather, particularly on the dark brown. The height-increasing insert is located inside: it should not be confused with a platform outsole.
Materials and construction
The upper, lining, and insole are announced as cowhide leather. The outsole is rubber and the technical sheet indicates a stitched construction. IVAREE includes these elements as documented, without adding any unverified manufacturing or performance promises.
How to wear it
Ashford works with a suit, wool trousers, neat chinos, or dark raw denim. Black favors a more formal interpretation; dark brown lends itself well to navy, beige, camel, and grey tones. For a coherent outfit, a belt in a similar color family is sufficient, without multiplying accessories.
Care
Dust with a soft brush, then apply a small amount of care product compatible with smooth leather. Allow to dry naturally away from a heat source and alternate wearing to allow the interior to air out. Ashford is referenced for spring and autumn.
To remember: patinated leather, brogue, tapered toe, stitched construction, and internal height-increasing insert define this IVAREE Oxford.
