Ecology and eco-responsibility

By working with dormant stocks and selecting high-end, certified and traced skins, we ensure that our products are made from ethically sourced materials. We believe in supporting sustainability and minimizing waste by using existing resources rather than creating new ones.

In addition to carefully selecting our materials, we also prioritize the craftsmanship and expertise of our partners in Tuscany. Our Italian partners have a long-standing reputation for working with luxury maisons, and they share our values of respect for people and materials. They have the skills and knowledge to produce exceptional products with attention to detail and quality.

When we travel to Tuscany every season, we personally choose and touch the materials. This hands-on approach allows us to inspect the quality and resistance of the products firsthand. We also engage in discussions with our experts to understand the origin of the materials and how they age over time. This ensures that our products not only look and feel luxurious but also stand the test of time.

By manufacturing limited quantities in Tuscany and working closely with our Italian partners, we are able to offer our customers unique, high-quality products that are made with care and respect for both people and materials.

We believe that taking the time to create and validate models directly with the modelers is essential in order to reduce material waste. This allows us to produce fewer prototypes and be more efficient in our production process.

Rather than following the fast-paced trends of ready-to-wear and fast fashion, we prioritize style and timelessness. We use existing leathers available from our partners, even if they may not align with the latest trends in color. Our focus is on creating timeless pieces that can be enjoyed for years to come.

Comfort is also a significant priority for us. We offer heel heights ranging from 20 to 80 mm, allowing our customers to prioritize comfort without compromising on style.

Eco-responsibility is not a destination for us; it is a continuous journey. We are committed to constantly seeking improvement and making more sustainable choices. Our ultimate goal is to become a 100% committed brand, where every aspect of our business reflects our dedication to eco-responsibility.

At STUDIO ODES, we believe that by respecting creation times, prioritizing style and timelessness, offering comfort, and continuously seeking improvement, we can contribute to a more sustainable and responsible fashion industry.

 

Limited Edition

Our focus on limited editions allows us to ensure that each pair of shoes is meticulously crafted and unique. We source our materials from dormant stocks, which not only adds to the exclusivity of our designs but also contributes to sustainable and ethical practices. By utilizing existing materials, we aim to reduce waste and minimize the environmental impact of our production process.

At STUDIO ODES, we believe in the beauty of handmade craftsmanship. Each pair of shoes is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans in Tuscany, where the legacy of traditional shoemaking techniques is deeply ingrained. By working with luxury workshops that pass down their expertise from generation to generation, we ensure that our shoes are made with unparalleled attention to detail and a commitment to exceptional quality.

Our relationship with our manufacturers goes beyond a simple business transaction. We have established a deep and meaningful partnership, based on mutual respect and shared values. Through an associate pact, we work closely with our manufacturers to ensure that all components of our shoes, as well as the packaging, are sourced locally in Tuscany. This not only supports local craftsmanship and promotes the region's heritage, but also strengthens our commitment to sustainable and responsible production.

When you choose STUDIO ODES, you are not only investing in a pair of exquisite, limited edition shoes, but also in a brand built on passion, craftsmanship, and sustainability. We invite you to step into our world of creativity and elegance, where each pair of shoes tells a unique story and carries the legacy of traditional shoemaking.

Local Manufacturing “Made in Toscana”

We believe that by maintaining these close relationships, we can ensure the highest quality standards for our products, as well as promote fair labor practices and sustainable manufacturing processes.

Additionally, our commitment to using materials from dormant stock helps to reduce waste in the fashion industry. By repurposing and reimagining existing resources, we can minimize our environmental footprint and contribute to a more circular economy.

At STUDIO ODES, we are proud to support the local economy and provide employment opportunities within our community. By choosing to purchase our products, you are not only investing in a high-quality, ethically made item, but also supporting the livelihoods of our dedicated team members and the craftspeople in Tuscany.

We believe that fashion can be both stylish and sustainable, and through our awareness, tradition, and modern design approach, we aim to inspire conscious consumption and contribute to a more socially and environmentally responsible industry. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us !

Two Collections Available

A permanent collection:  available in black nappa, a material easy to find at the factory, which allows us to often restart production.

A limited edition collection: each season our bests are available in several materials and colors. We use leathers from dormant stocks found among our Tuscan partners. This collection presents models in limited edition of 5 pieces per color ! 

 

Quality : both collections are made with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. We work closely with our Tuscan partners to ensure that only the finest leathers are used in our shoes. This attention to quality is evident in the durability and comfort of our footwear.

Sustainability: by utilizing materials from dormant stocks and producing limited quantities, we reduce waste and minimize our environmental impact. Additionally, our use of nappa leather allows us to restart production of our permanent collection more frequently, ensuring constant availability for our customers.

In conclusion, our brand offers a permanent collection in black nappa and a limited edition collection in various materials and colors. We prioritize quality, sustainability, and a unique design identity in our footwear.

Factories

Our shared values and vision for the future of shoemaking guide every aspect of our business. From sourcing ethically and responsibly produced materials to implementing fair labor practices, we prioritize sustainability and ethical production practices.

Transparency is a cornerstone of our collaboration. We openly communicate with each other and our customers, sharing information about our manufacturing processes, materials used, and the people behind our products. This way, our customers can make informed choices about the ethical and sustainability aspects of the footwear they are purchasing.

By collaborating closely with the Calzaturieri dei Borghi group, we can leverage each other's strengths and expertise to create exceptional footwear that stands the test of time. 

Leather : The Most Durable Material 

Leather is a highly versatile material that can be transformed into various products : its durability ensures that these items can be used for a long time, reducing the need for frequent replacements. This aspect of leather contributes to a sustainable and eco-friendly fashion industry.

Furthermore, leather ages well, acquiring a unique patina over time, which adds to its aesthetic appeal. Another advantage of leather is its ability to adapt to different climates. It can provide warmth during cold weather, and its breathability prevents moisture build-up, ensuring comfort for the wearer. This feature makes leather particularly suitable for footwear, as it protects and supports the foot while allowing it to breathe.

Moreover, the use of waste leather from the food industry for production is an excellent example of upcycling : by giving a second life to this material, tanning transforms it into a valuable resource instead of being discarded as waste.
