Delivery Timing

Atelier Series shoes are delivered in approximately 6 months from the date of the end of the order window.

All Atelier shoes are made to order. Once an order is received, each pair goes through full production process, including leather purchasing, Goodyear-welting, final preparation and hand-finishing in our Barcelona workshop before shipping. For this reason, a minimum delivery period applies to every Atelier Series order.

Because finishing is done by hand and production is intentionally limited, delivery timing may vary slightly depending on workload and finishing schedules. We prioritize consistency, fit, and finish over speed.

Craft & Patina

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.
