how it is made.
Handcrafted in Italy and constructed from vegetable-tanned water buffalo leather, hand-dyed and hand-buffered.
To create a distressed, urban look, this style also undergoes an exclusive antiquing process called stone washing, consisting of washing the shoe in open washing machines filled with water and pumice stones. The shades of uneven intensity are then emphasised through careful waxing and brushing.
The SLOANE collection features hand-built vegetable-tanned calf-leather outsoles, cut from the double butt of the hide, where the thickness is about 7mm. For added traction and grip, the leather sole is reinforced with rubber insertions; these soles are lighter and more flexible than rubber soles but offer more traction and grip than traditional leather soles.

shoe care.
The SLOANE shoes and boots are hand-dyed and stonewashed and treated for a worn-in, distressed look, so they don’t need to be kept pristine. They are meant to be lived in and become part of your story. The more worn in, the cooler they become, displaying a lifetime of memories and stories.
That said, regularly caring for your shoes will nourish them, increasing their softness, water resistance and comfort. And, it goes without saying, the more you care for your shoes, the longer they will last.
