What is Sacchetto Construction?
The Sacchetto Construction draws on our Italian heritage – it focuses on creating a shoe that both looks AND feels incredible. To explain it in short – Sacchetto translates to ‘little bag’ – so basically it feels like a slipper but it looks like a shoe you can wear outside of the house. Sold yet?
How are shoes with the Sacchetto Construction made?
The stitching is then positioned at the very edge of the shoe – this avoids any discomfort from irritating seams. Another plus of this construction is we also get shoes with high flexibility, giving them that ‘already worn in’ feel.
How does the Sacchetto Construction feel?
The Sacchetto Construction gives our shoes a unique softness, without depriving the structure; the lining covers the whole foot and is made of a piece of soft leather – imagine it like a bag covering the foot. The inner sole then makes way to a leather piece stitched to the lining.
So, whats the difference between the Sacchetto construction and a normal construction?
Regular shoemaking, usually requires an insole, glue and metal attachments to construct their shoes. These separate elements require rigid fixing – all of which reduce flexibility, softness and wearability of the shoe.
With the Sacchetto Construction, we remove all of those rigid elements and create a soft slipper like shoe – that looks just as good as your favourite shoe.
Light and flexible, Sacchetto shoes allow for a more natural foot movement, making them ideal for walking or wearing for long hours. Breathability is also a benefit of having no synthetic insole fabrics or glues in contact with the foot.
