Special Make-up Selected by The Hand

The Arca is an iconic model from Maison Corthay, renowned for its Parisian craftsmanship and timeless design. Made using the Pullman last, which caters to those with average to wide feet, the Arca boasts sleek, elongated lines, and a chiselled toe for a sharp and elegant appearance.

Selected as part of The Hand's special make-up selection, this pair is crafted from Old Wood leather, a lighter brown chosen for its unique patina. This material not only stands out for its vibrant and illuminating qualities but also ages beautifully, developing a rich character over time.

Features:

  • Unique Leather Selection: Handpicked by The Hand for its special patina and vibrant, illuminating qualities. Old Wood leather deepens in character as it ages, providing a distinguished look that evolves with wear.
  • Craftsmanship: Built using the Pullman last, featuring sleek, elongated lines and a chiseled toe that enhance style and comfort.
  • Versatility: The deep color profile of the polished leather complements various outfits. It can soften business attire, elevate casual wear, and, when polished to a high shine, be suitable for black-tie events.
  • Unique Elements: Features a distinctive two-eyelet lacing system and comes with both pairs of pictured laces, allowing you to choose the best style for any occasion.
  • Durability: Constructed with a durable leather sole to ensure longevity and reliability.
  • Extras: Includes shoe trees to maintain their impeccable shape.
