the Process
Each model is entirely crafted by hand in our workshop
HOW A UNIQUE SHOE COMES INTO BEING
The creation of a custom-made shoe is a process halfway between art and craftsmanship: it requires attention, manual dexterity, and taste.
Elegance is not about being noticed, it’s about being remembered.
FIRST APPOINTMENT
Pleased to meet you
The first appointment’s aim is to get acquainted with our customer and his requirements: model, style, color, and type of leather.
This is when we lay the foundations for our exclusive and unique relationship, just like the shoes that will be created.
MEASUREMENTS
Let’s start by taking your measures
Your feet will be accurately measured in various point.
The design will be transferred on a piece of paper, which represents the basis for the making of the shoes.
SHAPE
Unique for every client and unrepeatable
The last is made of wood according to the shoe model and type of toe cap.
The creation of the last is custom-made and is based on individual foot measurements.
PATTERN AND CLICKING
Tailor-made craftsmanship
The model is shaped according the wooden last, followed by the choice of the leather type.

STITCHING THE UPPER
Craftsmanship from bygone days
Our stitching master will assemble all the previously cut pieces and then stitch the upper.
MAKING
Your wish takes shape
This is the most important phase of the entire creation process; it’s when all the pieces that make up the shoe are assembled: the leather parts, the preparation of the heel counter and the insole, the actual assembly, the arrangement, the stitching of the welt and lastly the sole.
STITCHING THE SOLE
Care for every detail
Once the parts have been assembled and the welt has been stitched, the next phase is the stitching of the sole.
This moment requires care, attention, craftsmanship and strength. The stitching is carried out by hand through precise and accurate techniques.
MAKING OF THE HEEL
The last detail
Once the sole has been stitched, the next phase is the creation of the heel, by using refined and appropriate pieces of leather.
FINISHING
Almost ready to be worn
Finally, after almost 150 hours of painstaking work, the finishing of the sole is performed, taking shape, and gaining its color.
Specific tools are used for every single part of the sole finishing; when this has been completed, the shoe is ready for the final polishing.

The final touch
Once the shoe has been completed, final polishing is carried out, concluding this long and strenuous process.
The shoe is now ready to be worn.
