We are currently experiencing some supply issues through no fault of our own. This is causing delays to some orders beyond the usual 3 -5 week turnaround. All Exotic Models produced in Alligator, Python & Ostrich are currently UNAVAILABLE. We will re-commence production of these materials as soon as possible!
The usual production time is about 3-5 weeks. Please remember that you are purchasing a made-to-order item, that is to say, your item is not produced in advance, every part of it will be hand-crafted, exclusively for you, after submitting your order.
Also, please bear in mind that some customizations and artisan methods (i.e Patina Finishing) are more time consuming than others.
This method of production is the most efficient business model and we pass this efficiency onto you with our highly competitive pricing structure.
It also enables us to offer you such a vast array of product designs on top of any custom designs that you might create!
About Patinas
What is Patina Leather?
Our Patina leathers are achieved through a range of techniques for colouring, bleaching and darkening the leather.
This is an entirely handmade process using various polishes, dyes, waxes and oils. Each of our patina creations, be it a pair of shoes, boots, trainers or a belt, are the result of this labour intensive manual process.
For this reason there may be slight variations from one product to the next – this is to be embraced as these variations are a part of what gives a patina leather product its unique depth of character and soul.
Patina finishing is also known as antiquing and it does indeed give a product a “lived-in” appearance.
Goodyear Construction
Quality Goodyear-Welted Production
All Civardi dress shoes and boots are handmade using a Goodyear-welted construction.
This method of making shoe and boots results in a superior quality product.
Whilst this time-honored technique requires more time and resources, we feel that the resulting quality is worth the effort.
