Full-Grain LeatherUpdated a month ago

High-quality full-grain leather, carefully selected and sourced from calf hide. Vegetable-tanned.

Origin:

Calf leather sourced from Argentina & New Zealand    

Finishing Process:

The operator completes the leather on the finishing line by lightly moistening it with a pre-wet cream formulated in-house, then drying the shoe. Next, a water-based cream—also crafted in-house—is applied to enrich the surface. Using a small heated iron, the artisan creates subtle tonal effects that add depth and character to the leather. Finally, the piece is brushed with a neutral patina, delivering a refined sheen and a sophisticated finish.
