##Fabriqué à la main en Italie Situé à Corridonia, en Italie, se trouve un petit atelier familial qui fabrique des chaussures exceptionnelles avec un accent sur la qualité et la construction depuis 1905. L'excellence en cordonnerie est une obsession et une quête sans fin qui s'étend sur trois générations de cette famille. Alors que les compétences se transmettent de génération en génération, il y a une insistance à rester en phase avec les évolutions technologiques pour s'assurer que les deux mondes, ancien et nouveau, sont toujours respectés afin d'atteindre la plus haute qualité, les chaussures les plus confortables et les plus durables. Actuellement dirigé par la petite-fille du fondateur, il était clair dès notre première interaction que cette équipe de maîtres comprenait parfaitement notre raison d'être chez Archibald et saisissait l'opportunité de travailler avec nous et de permettre à plus de personnes de découvrir la différence que leur expertise et leur savoir-faire peuvent faire en termes de produit final.

Craftsmanship

##Un daim de cerf granelé, tanné en Italie, luxueusement souple et non doublé, est utilisé pour former la tige merveilleusement déstructurée, qui est ensuite cousue à une semelle Lactae Hevea. Le daim de cerf promet une expérience unique – un mélange incomparable de confort, de protection et de longévité dès le premier port. Le cuir plus souple et non doublé s'acclimate à votre pied presque immédiatement et offre un niveau de confort inégalé. Les semelles Lactae Hevea fabriquées en France sont remarquablement confortables grâce à la microstructure de minuscules bulles d'air qui se forment lorsque la semelle est fabriquée à partir du lait vierge d'hévéa – une subtile alchimie de tradition et de modernité. Enfin, pour couronner le tout, nous avons sélectionné une semelle intérieure amovible unique et confortable, doublée de cuir et fabriquée en fibres de coco.

##Situé à Corridonia, Montegranaro, en Italie, se trouve un petit atelier familial qui fabrique des chaussures d'exception avec un accent sur la qualité et la construction depuis 1905. L'excellence dans la fabrication de chaussures est une obsession et une quête sans fin qui s'étend sur trois générations. À mesure que les compétences se transmettent de génération en génération, il y a une insistance à rester en phase avec les évolutions technologiques pour s'assurer que les deux mondes, ancien et nouveau, sont toujours respectés afin d'obtenir des chaussures de la plus haute qualité, les plus confortables et les plus durables. Il y a une beauté dans l'équilibre entre passion et pragmatisme.

Footwear>Loafers and Driving Shoes>The ULTRALight-LV Loafers in Pebbled Deerskin

  • Handmade in Corridonia, Italy
  • Upper: Hand-cut Deerskin
  • Construction: Strobel
  • Unisex
  • High-grade, lightweight Lactae Hevea soles, Made in France
  • Unique leather-lined coconut fibre removable in-soles
  • Use a horsehair brush to remove any dust
  • Polish in small circles with a cotton cloth to restore a soft shine

Black deerskin with a panna sole — the ULTRALight Loafer in pebbled deerskin, an unbelievably soft leather with a distinctive natural grain. The black deerskin against the cream panna Lactae Hevea sole creates a clean, graphic contrast that sharpens the whole silhouette.

The Ultralight Loafer has been an idea knocking about for some time. We finally decided to move ahead late last year, hoping for an April/May 2025 delivery so these can be enjoyed just in time for summer.

In true Archibald spirit, we directed you to a survey to ensure we were making something you wanted instead of something we think you want. The final details have now been clarified.

This pair is made using the same Pebbled Deerskin we use on the Ultralight series. Strobel construction and coconut fibre insoles round out the build, consistent with the entire ULTRALight family. Handmade in Corridonia, Italy.

Community design choices:

  • Puller — No puller, but we will include a mini shoe-horn. Even the most secure puller will at some point come off or catch on something.

  • Tongue design — The community chose to go plain. Why feign formal when these are just much more fun! It also opens the door to a style more akin to a classic Penny.

A luxuriously supple Italian-tanned unlined pebbled deerskin is used to form the wonderfully unstructured upper which is then stitched to a Lactae Hevea sole.

Deerskin promises an experience like no other - a unique blend of comfort, protection, and longevity from the moment you wear them. The softer, unlined leather acclimates to your foot almost immediately and provides an unparalleled level of comfort. The French-made Lactae Hevea soles are outstandingly comfortable thanks to the microstructure of tiny air bubbles that form as the sole is made from the virgin hevea milk - a subtle alchemy of tradition and modernity. Finally, to top it all off, we have selected a unique and comfortable removable leather lined insole made of coconut fibers.
