From Tannery to Workshop: How Viranico Shoes Are Made

Every pair begins with a choice of material. Here is the journey from Italian tannery to your feet.

Sourcing: Italian Tanneries

We source leather and suede directly from tanneries in Italy. Full-grain calf leather, nappa, and suede are selected by hand.

Design

We study classic silhouettes and refine them. No unnecessary logos, no trend-chasing. Clean lines that work across occasions.

Crafting: Alserkal Avenue

Skilled artisans cut, stitch, and assemble each pair by hand. The process takes multiple days per shoe.

Quality Control

Every shoe goes through a multi-point inspection before leaving our workshop.

Visit Italian Shoe Factory at Alserkal Avenue to see the process firsthand.
