It's All About The Little Details
Every shoe starts off as an idea, and is then given life by pencil and paper. We are inspired by traditional classic lines, and pay meticulous attention to detail just from the shoe’s profile to selecting the type of materials. While fashion changes season after season, we offer a timeless style that represents a refined, but humble elegance.
The first few months are the most difficult. Before agreeing on the right shoe, we carefully deliberate over many prototypes — often staying up late and sleeping little. We are a tight-knit team, much like the artisan families of the Restrepo that Works at our factory.
We work to design a lot of shapes and models, and experiment with new luxury materials, crafting each design to represent our values.
Every step is decided together in a non-stop dialogue between our team and the artisans. Every moment is dedicated to achieving our idea of perfection. We have learned much over time, discovering traditional methods of design and creation which have been passed down for generations. And we will never stop learning, will always strive forward in our pursuit of perfection so our philosophy and our shoes live on for generations to come.
Without Intermediaries
Without Intermediaries
This chapter of the story is dedicated to you. The one where we ring your doorbell to deliver the shoes
of your choice. With no intermediaries to inflate the price, your shoes are delivered straight from our
shoemaker factory. This is how we imagined, and still believe, your shopping experience should
be.
For our entire first year, when the client order system was completely manual, we packed and
tied each shoebox with ribbons in our apartment. Even our photoshoots for the online store were created in
the apartment. Despite our humble beginnings, we dedicated our time and undivided attention to detail to
ensure our packages were delivered on time, every time.
Much like the way we do everything else,
we wanted to innovate the way we communicate with you. We like being direct and honest — think of us as
that friend you call for advice. But when we’re not helping our lovely customers, you’ll find us
cracking jokes in the office to keep each other on our toes.
From the comfort of your home, ordering a new pair of shoes is made easy. They arrive in no time at all,
and if your size is wrong, you can simply ship them back at no expense. The idea is to make the shopping
experience as simple and relaxing as possible.
We not only wait for you to come to us, we’ve
innovated the way our product is seen so that we come to you. When you come into our store, visit
online, or see us out and about, know that your smile is our reward.
With the growth of our
family, we’ve had to ask for a little help delivering our shoes to you. And just like we’re experts in
quality handmade Italian shoes, we’ve asked the experts in logistics to ensure you receive your shoes
with love, on time, every time.
