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.
