The artistry behind this masterpiece is achieved through a technique known as *Anticatura*—the Italian term for antique finishing. This revered method, mastered by Italian and French shoemaking maestros, transforms each shoe into a one-of-a-kind creation. In the skilled hands of an antique finisher, the leather upper becomes a canvas for craftsmanship. The *Anticatura* process involves meticulous hand-dyeing, requiring 8 to 10 hours per pair to develop a rich, nuanced patina that exudes timeless elegance and depth. Each finish is a testament to tradition, skill, and the pursuit of perfection.
