Favorite Scarpa memory:

Dolly Buswell buying a pair of Charles David black mules on day one, March 9, 1994. She was the first customer that day who I did not know personally prior to opening the store. Hence I was convinced that she was buying shoes because she liked them and not because she was taking pity on me.

The first time a customer got really excited about and bought a pair of shoes I picked out at market.
