The story

Our factory in Portugal makes every leather shoe and belt we sell. Part of the range is cut from Italian leather. Upkeep is a brush and a cloth: take the dry dirt off first, then wipe the leather with a damp cloth, and never a wet one, because water gets into the structure of the leather and does not come back out. A protector spray before the first wear is what makes a pair last.

Why choose it

For shoes and a belt you clean rather than replace.

What you pay for

Beckford Loafer: €189 here. €289 average market price.

Average market price is what a comparable piece costs from a brand that sells through other people's shops: department stores and multi-brand retailers. That price has to carry the brand's margin and the shop's margin, stacked. Ours carries one.

Our margin
€69,20

Margin is not profit. It goes to getting the piece to your door: shipping, returns, the warehouse. Then to running No Label: the team, the stores, the fit sessions, the photography. What is left goes into next season's fabric. On sale pieces there is often nothing left at all, because overstock is money sitting in a warehouse and we would rather it moved than marked up.
