The choice of fabric and materials in crafting our fully customisable shoes holds paramount importance, with leather standing as the cornerstone of quality footwear production. Leather's significance stems from its intricate manufacturing process, which demands masterful skill to refine and enhance its quality.
As a general rule, the more extensively processed the leather, the higher its quality—a distinction that often correlates with higher costs. In fact, roughly 47 percent of the production expenses associated with our shoes are attributed to the costly raw material.
This underscores the pivotal role that leather plays in determining both the quality and pricing of footwear, emphasising the careful consideration required when selecting materials to ensure optimal craftsmanship and durability.
