Our craftsmanship
Family-run European workshops
Our shoes are made in specialised, human-scale workshops in France, Italy and Spain.
- Boots, loafers and Oxfords: the Italian Marche region, a benchmark territory for stitched footwear
- Sneakers: France
- Pumps, ballet flats and sandals: Elche (Spain), a historic centre of women’s shoemaking
We have been working with the same workshops for many years, in a direct, stable and long-term relationship.
The choice of handmade and “Blake stitching”
More than 150 manual operations are required to make a pair of shoes — no small feat.
(Leather cutting, upper stitching, sole cutting, lasting, finishing…)
Most of our styles, for both men and women, are made using Blake stitching.
This construction directly joins the upper to the sole, making the shoe more flexible, lighter and comfortable from the very first steps.
Carefully selected materials
We mainly use European leathers from tanneries that comply with REACH environmental standards.
We also work with the Italian tannery Mastrotto, renowned for its excellence. Mastrotto is part of the GREEN L.I.F.E project and is Gold certified by the Leather Working Group, an independent organisation that assesses the environmental practices of tanneries. The tannery has implemented the best practices in the industry.
Soles and components are selected for their durability, comfort and ability to age beautifully, without unnecessary treatments.
Measured production
We produce in limited quantities, with no logic of overproduction.
Each style is designed to be worn for a long time, cared for, and not quickly replaced.
