Following her inspirations and travels, Capucine hunts and selects colors, materials, grosgrain and shoe shapes for her next collections.

Before being sent to our workshops in Italy, each fabric is carefully inspected in Paris.

Once the final details have been worked out, production begins. Each collection takes around 3 months to complete.

Each sole is cut by hand using a tool known as a "cutting die". Each shoe size has its own die. The cut bicycle tire soles are then sewn / topstitched during assembly.

Several steps precede the final assembly of a friulane. Fabrics must be lined, then cut according to a template; grosgrain sewn by hand onto each piece and each insole, not forgetting the labels which must also be sewn onto the soles. Sew it all together, and off you go!

Assembly is the penultimate step in the long manufacturing process. Soles (inner & outer), upper and lining are assembled by hand. Gestures are precise, as craftsmen glue, sand and sew the different parts of the shoe together. Everything takes shape over the course of the workshops. Finished shoes are stored on wooden carts for quality control!

Last but not least: quality control. Each shoe is inspected before being carefully packaged. Buttons, soles, stitching: everything goes through. That's Italian craftsmanship ;)
