Our premium, whole cut formal shoe from our artisan factory in Italy. A whole cut uses one large piece of leather from the prime cut of the hide, with only one seam at the heel. In addition to producing a beautifully clean, smooth aesthetic, the upper quickly and comfortably moulds to your foot, uninhibited by seams. The prime cut of calf leather hand finished in a rich burgundy; layer after layer of dye is applied by hand to create a real depth of colour, and then meticulously polished and antique finished, again, by hand. The upper has clean cut facings with a piped topline and is fully lined in calf leather. We’ve chosen a slightly squared last to complement the clean styling and blake stitched the upper to a leather sole with a closed channel to conceal the stitch.
