Yuks by Yuketen SS20 Collection

This season we’re stoked to introduce two classic styles from Yuks. For those who want a classic moccasin, check out the Type 1, a 60’s Wallabee-style shoe made from Italian “flesh-out” full-grain leather. If you’re more of a sneaker person, we’ve got the Type 5 in a beautiful vegetable-tanned black vaqueta.

Both the Type 1 and Type 5 feature a natural rubber crepe sole, so be sure to avoid all petroleum based products because they may cause the crepe sole to dissolve! For the Type 1 upper, avoid wearing them in the rain if you don’t like water marks. To clean off dirt, a good suede brush should do the trick (or even a toothbrush). For the Type 3, you can wipe off dirt with a slightly damp cloth and use black leather polish/cream/wax to buff out scratches.

Wallace is a moodboard for all the things that we love, enjoy,
and are inspired by. We thrive off the things that inspire us, and the desire to express that inspiration. Every brand and piece of apparel at Wallace is chosen because it connects with us in some way, and we want to share that with you.

We want people to see that they can be and dress in a way that is unconstrained by judgment or what is deemed to be “the norm.” Inspiration is not stagnant or set in stone. It changes, evolves, and moves with the ebbs and flows of our lives. So does our store.

We are constantly updating our stock to be in line with that which inspires us. Wallace Mercantile is all about the
things that inspire us.
