This processing method is the quintessence of softness and flexibility. It is carried out by expert hands with mastery of craftsmanship using light and flexible leathers, which are essential to accurately complete the work.
The shoe wraps around the foot in the most natural way, offering comfort and strength for walking with complete freedom.
In the tubular process, the upper rises from the sole to cover the sides and is fixed to the flat part of the shoe by means of a dense series of pleats with the typical hand stitching.
Inside the shoe, which has already taken shape, the insole is inserted, while the sole is applied and sewn last.
In the Bologna process, also called the "Sacchetto" process, the inner lining is sewn around the shape like a bag, thus making the footwear softer and more flexible.
In the Blake process, the upper, the leather insole and the sole are sewn together using a chain stitch. This stitch passes through a small channel that is created in the sole with the aim of protecting the stitches, which would otherwise break because it would be in direct contact with the ground.
