What to expect

"Picture the allure of vintage maps, where each fold holds a narrative; or the raw sophistication of aged parchment, reminiscent of ancient wisdom. Picture the enduring appeal of weathered oak barrels, echoing tales of refinement; or the rugged elegance of a seasoned ship's deck, bearing the marks of countless voyages.

These images are the foundation of Gent's and Rags' style, proudly capturing the essence of polished and distressed leathers, inviting wearers to embrace the journey and appreciate the beauty in imperfection."

Indulge in the allure of distressed leathers and preloved charm with confidence. At Gent's & Rags, we get excited about the appeal of vintage-inspired aesthetics, but we also prioritize quality and longevity above all else. Each shoe in our collection undergoes rigorous scrutiny, ensuring it meets our stringent standards for craftsmanship and durability.

How it all started...

In the heart of the Western North Carolina mountains, nestled among the lush landscapes of Asheville, Gentry Dodd's journey began. Originally hailing from Raleigh, Gentry's path led him across the country to California, where he immersed himself in the vibrant world of fashion for eight transformative years.

Drawing inspiration from the diverse cultures and creative energies of the West Coast, Gentry honed his craft and developed a keen eye for style. Yet, his roots tugged him back to the serene beauty of Asheville, where he envisioned bringing a touch of luxury and individuality to the local fashion scene.

Combining his passion for fashion with his dedication to sustainability, Gentry embarked on a mission to redefine luxury footwear. Thus, his bespoke, hand-dyed, and hand-polished luxury second-hand shoe brand was born.

With meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to quality, Gentry's brand embodies the essence of craftsmanship and personal expression. Each pair of shoes tells a story, reflecting not only the wearer's unique style but also their journey and personality.

Gentry's vision is simple yet profound: to provide custom products that transcend trends and stand the test of time, ensuring that every step taken is a statement of individuality and elegance.
