The mule is shaped around one continuous line. The smooth vamp, elasticated heel and restrained sole are assembled in Italy by leather-working artisans, keeping the silhouette uninterrupted from toe to heel.
Each pair is wrapped at the workshop, placed with a protective cotton dust bag, and packed in a rigid recycled-paper box–designed to preserve the pointed profile in transit.
New form emerges, 5,500 years later
Shaped by hand. Made to be lived in. In Marche, Italy, local shoemakers work calfskin leather into Nami 1’s sculpted upper and gathered heel — giving an ancient silhouette a new place in everyday life.
