The Art of the Gesture

It all begins with a drawing, carefully transformed into a pattern. Next comes the selection of materials, noble and flawless leathers, cut with meticulous precision, layered, hammered, and refined to gracefully follow the contours of the foot.

A dialogue with the clock

Within 72 hours, the upper must be assembled. It is stretched by hand over the last, each fold gently smoothed to achieve a pure, elegant line. For closed styles, a moistened leather reinforcement is inserted between the lining and the upper, ensuring both structure and suppleness.

The red gesture

Forty-eight hours later, the heel is attached, followed by the defining moment: the application of the iconic red sole. Depending on the materials, each pair then rests for several weeks to allow the construction to fully mature.

The final touch

Final touches perfect the design: edges are smoothed, raw cuts tinted, and the insole is delicately stamped with the Maison’s gold signature. Every detail is deliberate, every gesture intentional, giving rise to an object of absolute refinement.

A rare form of luxury, born from the hand, from time, and from a singular, uncompromising vision of beauty.
