The sense of modernity doesn’t reside in the symbolic materials all already discovered at one time, but in the link which combines and propose them again. That unicum that creates the personal, recognizable and unique style of Santoni footwear forged with the finest materials.
The softness of Buffalo leather and the strong feature of the cordovan softened and greased that keeps intact over time its great value of fine and long-lasting material.
The suede and nabuk with frosted writing surfaces, the tumbled and retanned calfskin, the cowhide natural leather which constitute the ancient art of natural tannage that thanks to its high quality standards offers a finished product in full respect of the environment.
Values that the mature and aware consumer of today has learned to appreciate and acknowledge as integral part of the product he is buying.
Our hides with “vintage” effect are the result of special natural tanning treatments. Hides featuring this treatment have a unique characteristic that is highly visible on the shoe when worn. With daily use, the shoe leather changes and takes on a timeworn effect, leaving the signs of workmanship clearly visible. These effects should be regarded as distinctive of the hide and of its quality. They are a sign of authenticity, and not a defect and/or a reason for complaint. Santoni selects only the best hides for all its shoes, and for our most exclusive craftwork and treatments we prefer the most genuine and unique leathers, to obtain an end product that is a “true objet d’art”.
All of the suede leathers used by Santoni are the result of a careful selection and a natural tanning process that complies with all EEC standards. All of our leathers are stained using a through-dyeing process that only takes place in drums. The hides and other materials used to manufacture our products are handled with the utmost care in order to preserve their natural features and quality over time. Clean gently, avoid excessive brushing and do not place in a washing machine. We recommend the use of a crepe rubber block without the use of liquids or harsh chemical products to clean our suede leathers.
