YUKETEN SUEDE SLIP-ON TOSCA SNUFF

Simple, yet sophisticated one piece slip-on shoe. YUKI MATSUDA’S DESIGN CONCEPT WITH THE MADE IN ITALY COLLECTION IS TO TAKE CLASSIC, WELL-LOVED AMERICAN FOOTWEAR STYLES AND PRODUCE THEM IN AN ARTISANAL, SMALL HISTORIC ITALIAN FACTORY IN MOUNT SIBILLINI, ITALY (PART OF THE APPENNINES). SIMPLY PUT, AMERICAN STYLE, ITALIAN CRAFTSMANSHIP, YUKI’S JAPANESE SENSIBILITIES, AND EXCELLENT MATERIALS.

THE UPPERS ARE HAND CUT AND HAND-LASTED FROM THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FULL GRAIN, FLESH-OUT TOSCA LEATHER FROM OPERA LEATHER TANNED IN TOSCANA, ITALY. THE TANNING PROCESS FOR TOSCA LEATHER INVOLVES TURNING THE LEATHER INSIDE OUT, WHICH CREATES A UNIQUE TEXTURE AND FINISH. THE OUTER SURFACE OF THE LEATHER HAS A SOFT, SUEDE-LIKE TEXTURE, WHILE THE INSIDE RETAINS THE SMOOTH AND DURABLE GRAIN SIDE.
