Dark Blue Arca Derby

As the emblematic derby of the Maison, the Arca comes straight out of a family portrait. Pure in its lines, the Arca was named after Pierre Corthay's grandfather’s sailing boat. Under the aegis of this wise man, Pierre used to spend magical evenings aboard the Arca where, with his head in the stars, he learnt to find his way around thanks to them.

Its acute curves, heightened by a bevelled tongue and a double inverted lacing, make it an example of simplicity in all its sharpness.

Many of us are blue lovers. The "Dark Blue" patina pays tribute to them with a subtle shading of blue that will brighten up your grey suits! Shades range from a deep blue to an ink blue - echoing the colour palette of the sea as one dives deeper ...

Note: Finished entirely by hand by Maison Corthay's colorist craftsmen, the colour of the patinas is likely to differ slightly from the imagery present on the site.
