THE PATINA CRAFT

ELEVATING LEATHER TO ARTISTRY

At Palmer James Designs, we consider the patina craft nothing short of an art form, a masterpiece painted by the hands of highly skilled artisans across Europe. Our pride lies in collaborating with the foremost craftsmen in the field.

In this meticulous process, our artisans apply a dye specifically tailored to each leather hide and shoe, rendering every pair an exclusive work of art. While the welt and construction form the shoe's foundation, it is the patina that breathes life into it. It is where craftsmanship converges with individuality, giving each shoe its distinctive character and soul."
