Achilles Ion Gabriel

Launched in 2013, Achilles Ion Gabriel has made a name for itself by setting a new direction in handcrafted modern footwear, fusing a contemporary touch with classic style, as in its famous Derby and Chelsea shoes. The designer is a Finish-born craftsman who has made it clear that he considers himself a shoemaker rather than a shoe designer by providing a contemporary twist on classic shapes. Adeptly reinterpreting the Derby, Chelsea, Combat amongst others, his streamlined designs and architectural detailing are created through artisanal manufacturing and speciality leathers.
