— The House
Three generations
of Italian shoemaking,
from a single bench.
The Fabiani family has shaped leather in the same Milano workshop
for seventy-three years. Each pair passes through one hundred and
ninety-two hands before it is finished — lasted, welted, sewn
and burnished — and only then does it earn its name.

→
01
Selection
Only the upper third of full-grain Italian calfskin is selected.
Tanned in Tuscany, aged for thirty days.
02
Lasting
Each upper is stretched and shaped over a hand-carved wooden
last for fourteen days — never less.
03
Welting
The Goodyear welt is sewn by hand. A construction that allows the
shoe to be resoled, indefinitely.
04
Finishing
Wax is applied in twelve coats and burnished with bone —
giving every pair its singular patina.
