OUR HISTORY
Our family manufactures all shoes on the island of Mallorca since 1866. Mallorca is located in the center of the Mediterranean Sea and is our source of inspiration for all our designs. The city of Inca is well known for the leather industry and has always been a reference in the quality footwear sector. Our artisans manufacture leather shoes that are then shipped throughout the world.
