The Art of Shoemaking
Over 200 meticulous steps, one pair at a time. A timeless tradition of excellence woven into every single stitch.
01
Lasting
The foundational step where the chosen leather is painstakingly stretched and meticulously shaped over a bespoke wooden last, masterfully defining the shoe's precise final form and perfect ergonomic fit.
02
Welt Stitching
We proudly employ the time-honored Goodyear welt construction, meticulously stitching a robust leather strip to both the insole and the upper. This intricate process ensures unparalleled durability, easy repairability, and superior water resistance.
03
Finishing
Every single shoe undergoes an artisanal hand-polishing and burnishing treatment, carefully enhancing the leather to create a truly unique, evolving patina and a deep, sumptuous colour that gracefully matures with each wear.
Sourced with Integrity
Only the finest, full-grain leather from esteemed tanneries that share our unwavering commitment to unparalleled quality and environmental sustainability.
Our premium leather is exclusively sourced from a distinguished, family-owned tannery nestled in the heart of Italy. This esteemed partner upholds centuries-old traditional vegetable tanning methods, setting a benchmark for exquisite quality.
This eco-conscious process deliberately eschews harsh synthetic chemicals, instead utilizing natural tannins derived from tree bark. The result is a leather that is not only exceptionally durable, beautifully breathable, and fully biodegradable, but also boasts a profound, natural character. Each individual hide is meticulously hand-selected for its distinctive grain and unique personality, guaranteeing that no two pairs of our shoes will ever be precisely identical.
