The upper is made from two pieces of leather, it is the classic one bar sandal shape. The heel is reinforced with a heel counter( a semi circle of stiff leather glued and sewn in the heel) A brassed or Nickel plated buckle fastens the strap A solid brass buckle may soon be an option, I am having problems sourcing these. The surface of the leather can be carved either with a traditional pattern, or to your own design The Leather can be dyed black, red, blue, green, light and dark brown, and chestnut these are not bright colours, but rich and deep, I can also be supply natural (a light tan). All colours normally darken with age and polish. Leather is a natural material, and may not take the dye evenly, or fade, this is not a fault, but a feature of the material, and will add to the patina. If you have a particular colour in mind, I might be able to source something suitable, it may be an applied coating. sprayed on a split and then put through patterned rollers to give a skin like texture to the leather. Contact me to discus your requirements, and price by e-mail, or phone. International callers remember to prefix the phone number with 44, and miss out the first 0
