MARCOS HJORN IS A PROJECT CREATED BY MARCOS, SHOEMAKER, AND AINA, ARTIST AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR. THEIR AIM IS TO EXPLORE TRADITIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP WHILE PRESERVING THE SAVOIR-FAIRE OF THE SHOEMAKERS' TRADE. THEY CONTEMPLATE CLASSIC DESIGNS IN ORDER TO REDEFINE THEM, TRYING TO ADD LAYERS OF MEANING TO THESE EVERYDAY OBJECTS—SHOES.

EVERY PAIR IS MADE BY HAND AT THEIR ATELIER CASA BRUTA, IN BARCELONA. THEY BELIEVE SUSTAINABILITY IS FOCUSING ON LONG-LASTING DESIGNS WITH HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS, CHARACTERISTIC OF BESPOKE SHOES. THEY ONLY MAKE SHOES ON DEMAND, REDUCING UNNECESSARY WASTE. IN THIS WAY, THEY CAN COMMIT TO AN HONEST RHYTHM AND A CLOSE CONNECTION WITH THE MATERIALS THEY WORK WITH.

THE UPPER LEATHER IS MADE BY CONCERIA MARYAM, A SMALL FAMILY-OWNED TANNERY IN ITALY. HEEL STIFFENERS AND TOE PUFFS ARE MADE OUT OF LEATHER AND THEY ARE INDIVIDUALLY HAND-SKIVED, GIVING THE BEST QUALITY AND ADAPTABILITY TO THE SHOE STRUCTURE. ALL THE LININGS ARE MADE OUT VEGETABLE TANNED CALF LEATHER.
