Accessories: For the handweaving we went to India, where tradition generates true excellence. Each strip of leather, called a ‘mignon’, gets folded back on itself before being woven into the others. It’s a complex artisanal process that requires time and dexterity.

Woven smooth leather

Soft and lightweight, our smooth sheepskin leather is made from the outermost layer of leather, the most premium part. It’s the artisan’s touch that, with care and precision, creates the weave using small strips one at a time. This step takes time and precision, requiring a certain level of expertise.

Mounted construction

The artisan carefully studies the leather and chooses the best part, which is cut and shaped around the last to form the upper. It then needs to be 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.

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.

Take a look at our leather care kit: inside you’ll find everything you need to care for smooth leather of any color. Entirely made in Italy, naturally.

Design

In 1700 frenchwoman Marie Camargo took the heel off her dance shoe, giving us ballet flats. But this model only found its popularity in the 1950s, when film stars began to wear it.

Enveloping the foot with a gentle handmade weave, through a complex process requiring time and dexterity. Each strip of leather, called a mignon, gets folded back on itself before being interwoven with the others. To make it we went to India, where tradition brings about true excellence. 

The resulting shoe is extremely soft and flexible. It might remind you of the craftsmanship of wicker chairs, and you’d be right: they’re our designer’s favorites. 

The sole is leather: made to last. Its edges are smoothed, buffed and polished. This ancient technique requires precision and dexterity.
