Bari Vecchia

The suede leather, also known as suede, is a fine leather and recognizable for its softness and for the velvety, matte and refined texture. It does not come from the skin of suede, as the name might suggest, but from a specific processing of the leather that enhances the internal layer.

During the manufacturing process, the outer surface is removed and the underlying layer is subjected to tanning, dyeing and grinding. It is precisely this process that creates the typical soft and velvety effect of suede, while maintaining resistance, flexibility and comfort.

The result is an elegant and pleasant to wear material, ideal for those looking for suede shoes, artisanal footwear Made in Italy and models capable of combining style, comfort and character. A timeless choice, perfect for adding depth and sophistication to every look.

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!
