Suede leather
Suede is made from the innermost layer of leather, superficially buffed to enhance its typical velvety feel.
Before cutting, artisans carefully analyse the leather, eliminating any potential imperfections: this delicate process requires time and precision. A latex brush removes dust and residue, while a coarser brush is used to revive the nap, so the shoe remains just as soft and beautiful as you see it now.
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.
Rubber sole
The tread on this sole features rectangular lugs made from a soft lightweight rubber compound. Both work together to evenly distribute weight on the ground while cushioning your stride.
Care
Leather gains beauty with age, so long as it is well taken care of. Here’s how:
- Use a brush to get rid of dust.
- If there are stains, rub them delicately using a soft-bristled brush, for example made from rubber (we use one made out of para rubber).
- Spray a brightening spray from 15-20 cm away from the shoe and wait for it to fully dry.
- Use a deodorizing spray on the inside of the show; wait a few hours before wearing it.

The laceless desert boot - an essential. Made from suede leather with a cream-colored rubber sole.
It has visible stitching and a slight heel, making every stop more comfortable. The lining is made from smooth natural leather.
This shoe uses Blake stitch construction: the upper part of the shoe is molded and glued to the insole, then attached to the outsole using a Blake stitch, to produce a lightweight flexible shoe.
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. Here are some of their stories.
