Smooth leather

Our smooth calfskin leather is full-grain, crafted from the outermost layer: the most premium part of the animal. The artisan's touch makes it beautiful and soft by gently hammering the surface: this process brings out the leather's natural characteristics, reviving and giving it body. This essential step requires time and the precision of experienced hands.

Blake stitch construction

The construction used for this shoe uses what’s known as a Blake stitch, named after the machine used to make it. This makes for a more durable shoe that can be resoled time and time again.

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. Now the upper is ready to be glued to the insole and then attached to the outsole with a Blake stitch; the artisan guides the shoe under the needle with precision and expertise.

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. Use the same brush to apply a cream. If the shoe is lightly colored, you’re better off using one that’s transparent or has a neutral color.
  3. Wait at least 20 minutes: when the polish has dried, buff it in using a dry cloth.
  4. Spray a deodorizing sanitizer spray on the inside of the shoe and wait a few hours before wearing.
