The Anatomy of Minimalist Leather Slippers
Exploring the subtle balance between unlined supple leather uppers and resilient, lightweight soles.

A minimalist slipper looks simple, but every line is a decision. We begin with unlined full-grain cowhide for the upper, so the leather can breathe and soften against the foot from the first wear.
Underneath, a lightweight leather sole is bevelled at the edge and hand-burnished until it is smooth to the touch. The result is a slipper that feels almost weightless yet holds its shape for years.
