I don't think we're crumbling as a civilization, but this is not our finest hour, and it's good to be mindful that we're all susceptible to fall and to look at what are the earmarks of a civilization on the wane.

I don't like to sell my finest pieces.

The idea behind our shoes is simple: they are as light as possible, very soft and made from the finest leather we can buy.

This is the type of luxury people want to buy now, things that they can use every day.
