IN SUEDE

Made to be worn in

Built for the long walk

Suede low-tops in three colourways, made to be worn in rather than kept clean.

Colour, worn quietly

The same construction, the same suede, in a palette that does not ask permission.

Couple in a dark study: he reclines on a bench in red suede sneakers, she leans on the rail

One pair, either way

The material

Suede, chosen by hand

Suede is not a finish applied to leather. It is the underside of the hide, sanded until the fibre stands up. Every skin is picked for nap and depth, because the same dye lands differently on every one.

The name

Extinct was never the plan

The thylacin was declared extinct in 1936. We took the name, and we name every colourway after an animal still holding on — woodland fox, midnight panther, frost wolf.

Know the Process

From hide to pair

Clicking

The hide is read for grain and flaw, then cut. Nothing is cut twice the same way, because no two hides are the same.
Closing

Cut panels are stitched into an upper. The seams are where a shoe fails first, so they are made to outlive the sole.
Lasting

The upper is pulled over a last and held until it takes the shape of a foot. This is where fit is decided.
Finishing

Sole attached, edges dressed, nap raised. The pair is handled one last time before it is boxed.
