It's about the outermost layer of the skin, the noblest one, preserved in its natural integrity to preserve it grain, softness e resistance. Precisely because it is not artificially corrected or altered, it keeps the original characteristics of the material intact and enhances itsauthenticity.

The Blake workmanship it is one of the constructions that we feel closest to our way of making shoes. Its peculiarity lies in direct internal seam which combines the upper, lining, insole and sole, giving life to a shoe softer, more flexible and lighter. It is a process that requires precision, experience and great attention to the balance of the shoe.

For us it represents the tradition of Italian footwear at its best, because it allows us to obtain elegant but lively shoes, comfortable from the first use and capable of accompanying the foot naturally. This is why we continue to prefer it: because in Blake we find that softness and authentic comfort that, for us, really make the difference

We believe in the movement Slow Foot: a shoe should not be an object of rapid consumption, but a travel companion to be looked after.

• Circular Economy: We use reclaimed animal leather as by-product of the food industry, transforming the waste into a noble and durable material.
• Against waste: We value every resource through a conscious upcycling, promoting a low impact production cycle.
• Extreme durability: The combination of natural and total origin repairability makes real leather, for us, the true sustainability.

This is what we believe in!
