HOW WE CREATE OUR SHOES
1) Cutting leather, by hand
The leather components that make the upper of the shoe are cut by hand by our artisans, optimising leather consumption and refining the points of contact
2) Refining the upper
To avoid rough joints, all points of contact of the leather parts that make the upper are treated, making them thinner. In this way when you touch the shoe you do not feel any discontinuity between one part and the other
3) Hand sewing
4) Inserting the lining and the accessories
Every item is sewed by hand, allowing for proper customisation
Every item is sewed by hand, allowing for proper customisation
The lining
Cutting, inserting and sewing the lining requires great care and attention to detail, achievable only by expert hands
Accessories
All accessories are tailored and sewed directly onto the shoe, ensuring reliability and wear
5) Reinforcing the rear part of the shoe
Reinforcing the heel
Every buttress is taylored to the shoe it is going to fit
Before pressing
The buttress is installed between the upper and the lining before pressing
The moduling
The buttress is pressed and fixed while hot, in order to create full adherence with the upper
6) Here come the foot models! How to create the perfect fit for your feet
Foot moulds and upper
Combining manual calibration with machine strenght allows the upper to perfectly host the foot mould
Checking the upper
Human intervention is vital to ensure the upper has been properly modelled
Anchoring the heel
The rear part of the shoe needs additional reinforcement in order to cope with future stress
So hot…So cold
Heating and cooling the shoe is an effective way of removing imperfections
7) Few touches before installing the sole
8) The last polish...almost there
Carding
Before fitting the sole it is important to roughen the bottom of the shoe
The hairdrier
By checking and heating the shoe locally we can create maximum adherence to the shape of the foot
Fitting the sole
Once the sole has been fitted it is possible to remove the foot moulds
Polishing
One last polish of the leather and then the shoe is ready to go
9) Shoe completed and packed, ready to be enjoyed by you
In the box
With maximum care, the shoe is placed into the box together with its accessories
Ready, steady…
Your shoe is ready for delivery and looking forward to seeing you
