The privilege of choice

Order and process

From bespoke shoes to our Ready to Wear collection, every shoe is made with the same approach to craftsmanship, quality and elegance.

Our bespoke shoes are made to a custom last and include a trial fitting before the final shoe is made. Our Ready to Wear and made to order shoes offer an affordable approach to ordering and customising your shoes.
Our Ready to Wear range has been developed from our experience in bespoke shoe making, applying our knowledge of the latest shoe making and production to offer you our artisan approach to craftsmanship. Each shoe is handcrafted and features many of the same elements that our bespoke shoes are known for.

Our made-to-order service offers you the opportunity to create a custom shoe. Options include pattern changes based on our four Ready to Wear styles, assorted leathers for the upper and lining, choice of shape between round toe, pointed or comfort, as well as sole options.

Our made-to-measure service offers you the opportunity to make a custom-made shoe according to your design choice. After preparing the shape of your custom shoe, we cut your unique model and assemble the upper from leather selected by you. We pay attention to the smallest details to turn the shoe of your dreams into reality.

Design and details
At your appointment we will provide advice to help you choose the right shoe design and details for you.
 
Try on suitable shoes
We have a range of suitable shoes for you to try on. We will check the fit with you and explain how we change the last for your custom-made shoes.
During the appointment we will gain in-depth knowledge of your foot from our fitting samples, taking your measurements and photos to document the characteristics of your foot.

Final fitting
From the information gathered during your appointment, we make a custom wooden last based on your measurements and style preferences that will be used to make your shoe.

Modelling
A model is prepared, checked and then remade before cutting out the pieces of leather that will be used to make the upper of the test shoe.

Second trial of the upper
Pieces are sewn together to make trial uppers, which use the same leather as the final shoe and have all the design elements of the final shoe.

Making trial shoes
The trial shoes are made using the same handmade techniques used to make the final shoe.

Trial fitting
During the trial fitting, the fitting of the shoe and its proportions, toe shape and design elements will be checked and then discussed together.

Fitting check
The fitting check involves cutting the shoes and taking photos to understand exactly how the foot is held in the shoe.

Final adjustments
The test shoe is put back on the last and adjustments are made in the indicated areas based on the information obtained from the test fitting.

Final shoe
The final shoe is now ready to be made. A new model is prepared, a new upper is made and the shoe is constructed by attaching the sole and heel.

Shoe Trees
Trees for your shoes are handmade in our workshop according to the specific dimensions of your custom last.

Polishing
Cream and polish are applied to the shoes so that they are ready to wear as soon as you receive them. A Patina service is also available on request.

Inspection and boxing
During the final inspection, the shoes are carefully checked before being wrapped in shoe bags and placed in an Italian wooden box.

Delivery
Your shoes can be collected from our atelier or shipped if you are unable to visit the atelier again.
