Greased suede leather

Suede is made from the innermost layer of leather, superficially buffed to enhance its typical velvety feel. A final layer of grease highlights a variety of shades.

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.

Ideal construction

This construction features visible stitching: an aesthetic embellishment that suits casual style and makes the shoe more insulating

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.

Here, the artisans attach the lining to the insole, leaving the ends of the leather facing outwards, like little wings. These are attached to the outsole with an external seam called a Rapid stitch, named after the machine that makes it. This step requires time and precision. Once the last has been removed, the shoe is ready to be finished and buffed.

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. 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).
  3. Spray a brightening spray from 15-20 cm away from the shoe and wait for it to fully dry. 
  4. Use a cloth to apply some neutral-colored waterproofing cream. It will help protect the shoe from rain and give it back that vintage look typical of greased suede leather.
  5. Use deodorizing sanitizer spray on the inside of the shoe; wait a few hours before wearing.
