how it is made.
Handcrafted in Italy and constructed from vegetable-tanned Italian buffalo leather, hand-dyed and buffered to create luxurious nuances and shades.
This style is distinguished by its superior Cupsole construction, where the sole is laterally stitched to the upper, providing exceptional flexibility, comfort, and ease of re-soling for years of wear.
The YORK collection showcases a beautifully welted profile and hand-crafted, vegetable-tanned water buffalo leather outsoles, cut from the double butt of the hide. The authenticity of the material is evident in the characteristic wrinkles and lines visible on the sole, which we have chosen to leave uncovered by rubber pads.
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.

shoe care.
The YORK shoes and boots are all dip-dyed and stonewashed and treated for a worn-in, distressed look, so 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.
