The Process – From Concept to Craft

At Gloria Kolozsi, every shoe begins with a vision – a blend of artistic inspiration and artisanal skill. Our design process is a journey from initial concept to the final crafted piece, involving four distinct stages:

Inspiration & Design

Each design starts as a sketch, drawing on influences from nature, architecture, and art. The goal is to craft a silhouette that marries timeless form with contemporary elegance.

Material Selection

We exclusively use deadstock leather – high-quality, unused materials that would otherwise go to waste. This conscious choice not only reduces environmental impact but ensures a luxurious finish that ages beautifully over time.

Handcrafted Production

Our artisans meticulously cut, stitch, and assemble each shoe by hand, paying attention to every curve and contour. This deliberate process ensures that every pair is not just a product but a work of art.

Finishing Touches

The final step is all about refinement – polishing, inspecting, and perfecting every detail before the shoe is ready to be worn. It’s a process rooted in care, respect for materials, and dedication to lasting quality.

Every pair of Gloria Kolozsi shoes tells a story of craftsmanship and conscious creation, an heirloom in the making.
