There are many people involved in the making of just one pair of shoes. In the Los Angeles factory, it took 22 people to physically make the paper pattern, cut and stitch the leather, last the shoe, cut the heel out of blocks of wood or leather, stamp the logo, assemble, polish and pack. All by hand.
In our new Italian factory, there are over 30 people all working together to assemble just one pair.
There is a factory for any accessories used (such as buckles, snaps or buttons), a leather supplier, a tannery, a factory for the metal shanks, a heel factory, a factory for the toplifts, a last factory, an outsole factory, a factory for the shoe boxes and the tissue plus many more. Every component of our fine footwear is produced in its' own manufacturer. Each factory employs anywhere from 10-50 or more people. One pair of shoes is priced to pay for this immense amount of intensive and collaborative labor.
