What we keep, what we skip

Named makers. No anonymous dropshipping. Every product ties back to a real person or a real shop.
Real materials. Vegetable-tanned leather, waxed canvas, wool, enamel, US-forged steel. No plastic hardware posing as brass.
No fake urgency. No "only 2 left" banners that reset at midnight. No modals. No dark patterns.
Plain talk. If the heel runs narrow, we say so. If the knife won't hold an edge, we won't stock it.
