After the extraction from the “fosse” (pits), it began the necessary procedure to make the shoes wearable and give value to the colors achieved. The upper is cleaned, moisturized, and reassembled on a wooden last, where it will remain to dry naturally for at least 2 weeks. At the end of this period, we continue with the application of a new sole, and the final maintenance of the upper.
The last process enhances the variations in colors and stains, different shades of green, yellow and red. We do not do anything but clean the upper completely from the residues and polish it: the antique finish has been wisely provided by Mother Nature.
