The Olea collection is made from an innovative and durable olive-based material, allowing the valorisation of the tonnes of olive-pressing by-products generated by olive groves every year.

Manufacturing process
After the olives are pressed to extract their oil, the olive pomace — comprising skins, stones and residues — is set aside and finely ground. It is then blended with PU to form a thick paste, which is dyed using natural pigments.

The paste is spread onto a thick backing cloth before passing through ovens to solidify the material, then cut by our artisans for the manufacture of our shoes.
