Smooth leather and wool
We’ve combined the sartorial elegance of wool with smooth leather: for a classic shoe that knows how to make an entrance.
Our smooth leather is full grain, made from the outer layer of the leather: the most premium part. It’s the artisan’s touch that then makes it so beautifully supple by delicately hammering its surface.
The wool can be seen on the front edges: spot its herringbone tweed pattern with geometric contrasts. It has been carefully processed to ensure durability: after being spun and woven, it must be checked by an expert, who examines it for any imperfections. The final steps are cutting, stitching, and finishing.
Blake Rapid construction
This construction method secures the sole to the shoe using a double stitch: one internal, called a Blake stitch, and one external, called a Rapid stitch. Both take their names from the machines used by our artisans to create them. This method results in a durable and long-lasting product that you can take to your local cobbler to be resoled as needed.
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 midsole with a Blake stitch; the artisan guides the shoe under the needle with precision and expertise. Finally, the outsole is attached with a Rapid stitch.
Rubber and leather sole
An artisan carves a hole in the base of the sole and fills it in with rubber, resulting in a non-slip sole that’s suitable for rainy days.
Care
We value the signs of time passing. Here’s how:
- Use a brush to get rid of dust and dirt.
- Store your shoes in a cool dry place.
- After a day of rain, let the shoes dry away from any heat sources.
- Spray deodorizer/ sanitizer on the inside of the shoes and wait a few hours before wearing them.
Take a look at our care kits: you’ll find everything you need to ensure your shoes last a lifetime. They just need a little TLC.
Our packaging
We’ve carefully designed our packaging, selecting sustainable materials in order to reduce waste and make the packing process easier for our artisans.
The cardboard is fully recycled and recyclable, as is the twine and packing tissue. Depending on your purchase, you’ll also find one or more cotton bags for your convenience: reuse them for home and wardrobe storage, or for organizing your things when going away on trips.
Made in Italy
Production is based in Montegranaro, in the Marche region, where the tradition of shoemaking has deep roots. For a product that lasts, we only select leathers that age well and put our trust in people who have been in this industry for generations. The artisans in our workshops have learned the job through family and know each and every trade secret. Just like Nazareno, who buffs every shoe with extreme dexterity and precision.
