How I Like to End the Year
The end of the year always makes me slow down.
It is a moment to reflect on what mattered, what endured, and what was worth the effort.
In my work, I am constantly surrounded by time. Every pair of shoes in the 1202 Heritage Collection is made entirely by hand.
Each step demands attention, patience, and respect for the process. There is no way to rush it without losing what makes it meaningful.
This collection reflects how I approach my work.
I believe good shoes should be built with restraint, patience, and a clear sense of purpose.
Those values are present in every step of the 1202 Heritage Collection.
These shoes make an impression early on, and they continue to reward over time.
The leather softens, the patina deepens, and the fit becomes more personal. After a few years, they no longer feel new. They feel familiar. That is when their story truly begins.
At the end of the year, many decisions are made in a hurry.
The 1202 Heritage Collection is for those who prefer to choose carefully.
For those who understand that craftsmanship is not about speed, but about intention.
This is how I like to end the year.
Making something slowly, with purpose, and knowing it will be worn for many years to come.
Made at a Human Pace
