Renowned Parisian designer Philippe Model entrusts the creation of his iconic shoes to expert artisans in Riviera del Brenta, near Venice—a historic hub for fine shoemaking. Discover the meticulous six-phase process that ensures every pair meets unparalleled standards, destined for fashion enthusiasts worldwide, from France and America to Russia and Korea.
Phases 1 & 2: Design Sketching and Material Selection
Paolo Gambato, Philippe Model's dedicated designer, has wielded the same pencil for 25 years to craft intricate designs. His innovative models blend timeless aesthetics with cutting-edge technology, showcasing true creative mastery.
In phase two, premium leathers and materials are meticulously selected, cut, and assembled into shoe uppers. This rare handmade craftsmanship, using only the finest materials, sets Philippe Model apart in today's market.
Phases 3 & 4: Sole Attachment and Hand Gluing
Phase three involves hand-assembling the sole—a traditional Riviera del Brenta technique that guarantees exceptional quality and durability. Phase four's manual gluing is crucial, enhancing the shoe's performance and longevity.
Phases 5 & 6: Edge Finishing and Final Packaging
The process culminates with precise edge application and material integration. Shoes are then hand-brushed, adorned with the Philippe Model logo, carefully packaged, and shipped globally.
Proudly Made in Italy
