Suede leather

Suede is made from the innermost layer of leather, superficially buffed to enhance its typical velvety feel.

Before cutting, artisans carefully analyse the leather, eliminating any potential imperfections: this delicate process requires time and precision. A latex brush removes dust and residue, while a coarser brush is used to revive the nap, so the shoe remains just as soft and beautiful as you see it now.

Tubular construction with Blake stitch

This tubular construction method produces a comfortable glove-like fit and a particularly flexible shoe, with fully hand-sewn details.

The process begins with careful study of the leather; after finding the best part, the artisan cuts and shapes it round the last to form the upper. This is then delicately hammered to smooth down the seams and soften the parts that come into contact with the foot.

The artisan envelops the last with the upper leather, creating a soft fit that’s seamless on the inside. Then, the toe box is hand-sewn with needle and thread. Finally, the shoe is fixed to the sole with an internal seam called a Blake stitch, named after the machine that makes it: the artisan guides the shoe under the needle with the skill of a true expert.

Care

Leather gains beauty with age, so long as it is well taken care of. Here’s how:

  1. Use a brush to get rid of dust. 
  2. If there are stains, rub them delicately using a soft-bristled brush, for example made from rubber (we use one made out of para rubber).
  3. Spray a brightening spray from 15-20 cm away from the shoe and wait for it to fully dry. 
  4. Use a deodorizing spray on the inside of the show; wait a few hours before wearing it.
