Leather & Craftsmanship

KarolShoes footwear is made from natural cowhide leather, carefully selected to match the character, construction and finish of each model. Depending on the design, we use different types of leather, including Crazy Horse, Kabir, Crust, nubuck and full-grain leather.

The upper, lining and insole are made from natural leather. Each pair is handcrafted in our workshop — from leather cutting and stitching to final finishing and quality control.

Natural leather is not a perfectly uniform material. Small differences in shade, texture, distressed effects or hand-applied colouring are part of its character and the result of manual craftsmanship — not a product defect.
