Ettinger Medium Skohorn- Grå - £150 D R Harris London

The hinge works so smoothly it makes me want to find excuses to use it, and the grey leather has a nice, understated finish that doesn't look out of place on my shelf. It's a simple thing, but the length is just right for slipping on loafers without bending over too much.

The grey leather feels substantial in the hand, and the medium length is perfect for slipping on loafers without bending over. Arrived well-packaged and looks classy sitting by the door, though at this price you’re definitely paying for the craftsmanship.

The leather feels substantial in hand, and the grey tone is a subtle upgrade from the usual black or brown. It slides into shoes smoothly without any fuss, which is exactly what I wanted from a mid-size horn.
