WHAT IS THE MAKING PROCESS FOR CUSTOM SHOES?

Select the design, the leather and take the measurements

The customer must, first of all, choose the design and leather. The next step will be to take the measurements of each foot. The advantage of custom-made shoes is that you will be unable to find shoes more comfortable than this as everything is precisely measured to be adapt to the shape of your feet.

Cut out all parts by hand

By following the measurements of each foot, our tailors create a pattern and then cut the sole to the right size. Then they do the same for all upper parts of the shoe. It’s a meticulous work that requires precision and rigor.

Shew and assemble the uppers of the shoe.

It’s time to take it to the next level.

AN ANCESTRAL SAVOIR-FAIRE

Shoes have been made for 40 000 years.
Hunters could be seen wearing animal skin boots in the drawings in the caves.
Then the shoes were created: stuffed with straw, closed with cord or animal laces, and made of leather.

Sandals then appeared in Ancient Egypt to protect against the heat of the sand. They were made from papyrus fibers.

The first sewn shoes appeared in the Middle Ages. Their method of manufacture is the one we still use today. These were made from supple leather.
Over the ages, shoe styles have evolved: shapes, heels, embroidery, leather, silk…

Until 1830, there was no difference between left and right, it’s a french who discovered that our feet are different and so we had to adapt the shape of the shoes.

It was at the end of the 20th century with industrialization that the first mass production of shoes appeared thanks to the invention of the sewing machine.

Hoi An, Vietnam, is a famous city for tailor-made. Craftsmen work in particular with leather and have kept a traditional savoir-faire passed down from generation to generation. All the pieces are handmade in our workshop where more than 40 tailors work to make the shoes and bags of your dreams.
