Material
ECCO LEATHER, which is used by world-famous brands and maisons, leather from Italy's Opera, which also offers the highest quality suede, and Tochigi leather, which represents Japan, and other leathers that we have used for customization at our store are available.
Caution
The leather that can be used is limited to what we have in stock.
Only gum soles can be used.
There is a risk of injury due to the handling of dangerous items such as leather cutting machines, knives, sewing machines, and nails. Please be very careful. We are not responsible for any accidents that may occur during work.
We will provide a work jacket, but please come dressed in clothing that you do not mind getting dirty from glue, fibers, etc.
Some of the work will be performed by our staff. (cutting soles and sewing soles)
If you do not have time, we can offer a workshop for the first day only, and our staff will do the second day's work on your behalf and deliver the shoes within a week (free of charge). In this case, the workshop fee will not change. (When placing your order, please indicate in the "Special instructions for seller" field that you wish to have only the first day of the workshop.)
It will be easier for us to start working on your design if you have a clear idea of what you want before you come to the lab.
