Suede/calf wholecuts?

Just tonight at a concert, I got a fleeting glimpse of some black wholecut Adelaides, with the bit around the throat in grey suede. Normally I don't care for Adelaides and am chary of wholecuts, but these seemed to have some promise. Are they a RTW model that anyone knows of, or does one of my fellow concert-goers have a bespoke habit also?

It may very well have been a bespoke shoe, but shipton.fr has a line of wholecut Adelaides with contrasting throats, manufactured for them (it is generally believed) by C&J. I distinctly remember the black calf / grey suede model. Very 1910s in appearance, something Swann might wear... or Charlus.

Shipton does not make bespoke shoes. Their shoes are C&J, Sargent, and in the past Grenson.

C&J had an anniversary model in Handgrade of that description; however, it was out of their Paris shop and may have sold out.

Aubercy has many variations on this model.
