Crafting a sandal in 15 steps
Each step in the manufacturing process scrupulously adheres to the rarified expertise specific to luxury houses. For example, crafting an Adèle sandal, one of our flagship models, requires up to 15 different steps. Once shaped, the rubber sole is first hollowed out to accommodate padding foam made from recycled material. The organic satin upper is then skillfully embroidered according to Schwarz Montiel's vision to evoke delicate Provençal boutis quilting. Carlotha Ray's C emblem is then embroidered onto the quilting. Finally, the satin upper is fitted seamlessly to the sole in the tradition of haut-couture shoemakers, guaranteeing a perfect fit and absolute comfort. Every single knot is done by hand.
