Principles

We make them in our own atelier

Every pair is made in our atelier in Esenler, Istanbul.

We describe them as they are

We say plainly how each model is made. We don't claim that every style has a feature only some of them have.

For example, every style is fully leather-lined. Most are Blake-stitched with leather soles, but not all. Each model's construction is listed in the Manufacturing section on its product page.

For the leathers and methods we use, see our Materials page.

We tell you the fit up front

Every style is made on a specific last, for example the Gatsby last.

Most of our styles are a standard D width. Adem, Popa and Kangto are narrower (C), and Athos is wider (E). A few styles are a standard width but fit narrower or wider than the others; the Design section on the product page says so.

If you're not sure about your size, email us before you order and we'll work it out together.
