Step by step
The Process
Design. Our shoes are designed in-house, resembling a traditional style with a twist that makes them unique and contemporary.
Fabric. Each fabric is conscientiously hand selected and taken to the factories where the artisans cut it and sew it, molding the shoe with care. In the meanwhile, our sole-maker has hand-stamped the soles to the shape of the shoe for a perfect fit.
Assembly. Bringing the two pieces together at our factory is our favorite part, that's where they are stitched together and brought to life. The shoes are then laced and gently packaged ready to be sold.
Love. It is our pleasure to combine our love for nature with shoemaking business, helping to pave the road for ethical fashion one step at a time.
100% DESIGN AND MADE IN ITALY
The Origin
Where it's made. Each shoe comes with a history, a history that starts in Italy. We have chosen the best Italian craftsmen, coming from Marche, Piedmont and Lombardy, to handle our production, each shoe is made by hand with the utmost care.
Where we are. Living in the heart of Milan keeps us up to date on the newest and most popular trends. We are proud of our shoes, our hand-made quality and the ethics we stand for.
The Materials
