The upper of the shoe is made completely chemically free. The insole and footbed are also vegetable tanned leather, ridding it of any environmentally harsh practices.
Once we cut the 3mm thick leather, all parts of the shoe are stitched together to form the upper. We last the upper by hand and let the shoes rest and stretch for 72 hours creating a firm shape only found with handmade footwear. Then we attach a midsole made of natural plantation crepe and stitch it to the insole and upper of the shoe making them one. As we add more crepe to the midsole, this creates a durable and practically impossible to tear base of the shoe. The excess of the outsole is trimmed and sanded by hand, (the trimmed remains and the dust is recycled to make more outsole or adhesive). We then clean and pack the shoes in recycled cardboard boxes.
The whole process takes more than 5 days of production from cutting to packaging. Making it a truly handcrafted pair of shoes with natural materials
