Just as clothes make the woman, shoes maketh the man. It doesn’t matter if you own one pair or a hundred, one thing is for sure: dress shoes are an absolute necessity in every wardrobe.
Want a pair of quality leather shoes but aren’t willing to shell out a couple of hundreds for them? Then say hello to Earnest & Collective. Affordable, 100% full-grain calf leather and available 24/7 online, the brand focuses on getting you the quality you deserve without you having to pay an arm and a leg for it. Here’s what makes their leather shoes special:
Oxfords, brogues, penny loafers – they craft them all. Each streamlined and structured silhouette by Earnest & Collective is a result of months of tweaking and only 100% genuine full-grain calf leather is used for everything including lining and insole.
Also the strongest and most durable leather in the market, you can expect your shoes to soften and develop a natural patina with consistent use.
Every pair produced takes around 38 hours of labour and are all assembled by hand and hand-coloured, so no two pairs are alike in terms of burnishing or patina. Its cemented construction might have you raising your brows but at an unbeatable price point of S$129 per pair, you can easily have them resoled for much cheaper than one with a Goodyear welt.
Paying for quality is one thing, paying the middleman is another. Don’t be fooled into thinking there’s always a correlation between price and quality. Sometimes, the actual product only costs a fraction of what you’re forking out. Earnest & Collective keeps their prices as low as they can regardless of make because they cut out the middleman and work directly with the manufacturer.

Purchasing a pair of quality leather shoes can set you back anywhere from $250 to a good few thousand, but after eliminating all unnecessary costs, you’ll only have to spend slightly more than a hundred for shoes of the same quality at Earnest & Collective.
Word of mouth holds the highest worth, especially when you can’t physically touch or try the product on. To completely remove any lingering doubt you might have, you can look up the reviews from past customers on Earnest & Collective’s Facebook page prior to making your purchase.
And in the event of a needed exchange, Earnest & Collective offers you a 1-to-1 exchange at your doorstep or a location that’s convenient for you with no hidden extra charges.
