The choice of leather

 Before beginning the design of the Patino shoes, the House of Charlet meticulously chooses its base material:  leather.  As with the most prestigious luxury brands of ready to wear, it sorts and selects only the best full grain calfskin leather from the best tanneries.  Being the most elegant part of leather, the full grain is recognizable by its slight irregularities attributed to the natural beauty of the leather itself.  Unlike the underside of the skin, it is known to be the most resistant.  ‘Full grain’ means that the skin keeps its original thickness.  This is often imitated but never equaled and guarantees a noble product.  Leather Patino shoes are waterproof, soft and solid, with an exceptional added durability thanks to their Goodyear stitching. Furthermore, the leather bestows a natural esthetic beauty, rare in shoes.

Subject to strict environmental controls and frequent inspections tanned skins are refined and hypoallergenic.
