The London Lounge

I was recently in Carmina Paris - am leaving tomorrow morning for Singapore. And I managed to catch up with out venerable leader - malden who was kind enough to spend the better part of the afternoon with me taking me around the interesting stores in Paris. We started at the Carmina store at rue de Opera.

I purchased a pair of Double Monks wth captoes, in the Philadelphia last in cordovan.

Great pics pchong! I love your new monks!

Great pics - I visited the Carmina store in Paris in late October, and purchased a pair of dark brown Chelsea boots - which I believe are in one of your photographs. They are the most comfortable shoes I own!

peter great pic's i hope you have a few more that you can share with us and these just to wet our taste!

Mr. Chong,

Thank you for the pictures, very well taken.
It looks like a beautiful shop!

Great pictures. The store looks really nice.

Thank you for the lovely pictures. They remind me on my very pleasant first visit to the store this summer. I purchased the LL boot, which has become a favourite shoe for weekends.

Help. I am swooning.

I love double monks, BTW.

Beautiful photos Mr. Chong...and beautiful double monks as well! I've just arrived in Paris for the holidays and after viewing this post I think I'll be taking a walk over to Carmina this afternoon.

In Palma de Mallorca is a shoemaker that makes wonderfull shoes and that's a small daughter company from Carmina.
I am regularly in Mallorca it's my second livingplace, I will make pics from the store in Palma de Mallorca.
