Truly handmade

The term ‘handmade’ is often misused by larger brands as a marketing tool. For us, handmade represents the true luxury of craftsmanship — years of training and dedication, with each piece uniquely crafted as an expression of artistry and skill.

truly handmade / 01

hand-cut

At the core of our expertise is the creation of handmade shoes. We carefully select premium leathers and expertly cut them to perfection. With precision, each piece is assembled with care and skill to finish the shoe upper.

truly handmade / 02

hand-lasted

Our lasting process is a labor of love, done entirely by hand. Skilled hands carefully shape and secure the uppers to the insole, preserving the integrity of the shoe's design and ensuring a comfortable fit.

truly handmade / 03

hand-welted

Our dedication to maintain our heritage craft and excellence is apparent in our hand welted and hand-stitched shoes. Leveraging extensive experience, our craftsmen craft resilient, enduring footwear that embodies skill and precision.

truly handmade / 04

hand-painted

Many of our products are elevated through the intricate "patina art". Similar to painting on a white canvas, this hands-on technique imparts a unique tone and texture to the leather, making the final product stand out as wearable masterpieces.

Brand Staple

Three volcano stitching

This emblem is a tribute to the majestic trio of volcanoes that surround Antigua Guatemala, the heart of o4ur craftsmanship.

It’s a tribute to the place that inspires us, blending tradition with the beauty of our surroundings.
