Botta-S at Orimono
Botta-S is the label of Stefano Botta, who works from his own workshop in Treviso, Italy. He came from metalwork and taught himself shoemaking and garment construction, and every piece is made by hand.
His shoes combine Blake-stitched insoles, hand-nailed outsoles and layered uppers, for example calf suede over woven hemp canvas. In leather clothing he uses vegetable-tanned horse leather, waxed and cracked until it looks like paper.
