1202 Collection - Handmade Rafael Wingtip Adelaide Oxford

Every patina we create is applied by hand, pair by pair, using traditional finishing techniques developed in our Barcelona workshop.

Rather than a uniform, pre set color, each shoe develops depth, transparency, and character through multiple layers of dye and careful hand polishing.

Leather is a natural material, and it responds uniquely to hand applied finishes. The final tone is built gradually through layering and polishing, allowing the surface to develop movement and nuance rather than a flat, static appearance.

Because each patina is finished by hand and because digital screens interpret color differently, the final tone may differ slightly from what you see online. This subtle individuality is an essential part of the character of a handmade shoe.

We work carefully to represent each patina as accurately as possible through photography, but the full depth and richness of a hand finished surface is best experienced in person.

What remains consistent in every pair:

- The intended color family, such as brown, black, or bordeaux

- The design, proportions, and silhouette of the shoe

- The level of finish and craftsmanship

- The original intent and character of the patina

If you have a specific color preference or are choosing between two patinas, our team is always happy to guide you before placing an order.
