Materials
Suede
Our suede represents a tribute to Italy’s commitment to sustainability. Crafted entirely in Italy in the town of Vicenca from EU-sourced cow hides, it’s the result of meticulous craftsmanship. We hand-pick the very best small-section leathers, tanned using a process that lends a velvety finish and timeless beauty. Treated with a water repellent, carbon neutral and 90% biodegradable, this product is a clear declaration of our respect for nature.
Nubuck
Made from EU-sourced leathers tanned in Italy, nubuck is full-grain leather, which is sanded to create its characteristic nap. If you own a pair of footwear crafted from nubuck and you’ll notice it softens and adapts to the unique contours of your feet over time. In trekking models, the extra thickness provides enhanced support, durability and insulation. And cleaning? No problem… It’s superbly easy to maintain.
Canvas
Our canvas epitomizes lightness and authenticity. Made of 85% cotton and 15% polyester, its faded appearance provides a unique look. We’ve selected the ideal weight to guarantee lightness and durability at every step. Produced in Italy, canvas is a celebration of authenticity, and a tribute to practicality.
