Story & heritage
Avignon is a bout chasse derby named after a fortified town in the south of France. Paraboot and its retailers frame it as one of the house legends, valued for the way its materials and finishes let it move easily between dress and casual wear.
The result is a more formal-looking Paraboot than Michael, but one that still keeps the brand’s practical and durable sensibility.
Materials & craft
The model uses a traditional fit, almond-shaped toe, Norwegian stitching and leather lining, with a natural gum outsole for traction and longevity. It is a sturdy derby with enough refinement to work under tailoring.
How to choose & style
Avignon is best with smart trousers, heavy chinos, or dark denim. It reads cleaner and slightly longer than Reims, so it can lean a bit more formal without losing the Paraboot character.
