The Process
1. Designing and Pattern Making: The creation of a Saalvi shoe starts with a detailed design process. Our designers sketch and plan every aspect of the shoe, ensuring it embodies both classic style and modern sensibilities. Patterns are then meticulously crafted to guide the cutting of the leather.
2. Cutting and Shaping: The selected leather is carefully cut according to the patterns. This step requires an expert eye to maximize the use of the leather while avoiding any imperfections. Each piece is then shaped and prepared for assembly.
3. Assembling: The pieces of leather are sewn together by hand, a process that demands exceptional skill and patience. This ensures a snug fit and a seamless look. The shoes are then lasted, a critical step where the leather is shaped over a form to create the desired shoe shape.
4. Finishing: The final steps involve detailed finishing work. This includes hand-polishing the leather to achieve a rich, deep shine and adding the sole, which is both sewn and glued for maximum durability. The shoes are then inspected rigorously to ensure they meet Saalvi's high standards.
