Liorvenne began with a simple frustration: beautiful shoes that lasted a season. We now work with three family workshops who still cut, last and finish by hand. Runs are small — sometimes only a few hundred pairs — and our patterns stay on file for years, so a piece can be repaired rather than replaced.
Leather is chosen hide by hide, silk is dyed to a single ivory, and cashmere is combed twice before it is spun. Nothing is rushed to meet a season.

The craft
Made, not manufactured

Hand finishing

The finished piece
Made to be worn for years
Fewer pieces, worn for longer.
We would rather add eight pieces a season that last a decade than eighty that last a summer.
