Our Carlos Santos styles may be purchased in any of these 19 colours:
Shoes made using this service are initially manufactured in an off-white neutral colour, which is referred to as 'crust' - an example is shown here on the left (or above) in the tassel loafer.
When an order is received in any colour, the crust version of the pair is sent to be hand-painted in the customer's preferred colour. The skilled workforce at Carlos Santos handpaints the shoes, resulting in a unique and instantly appealing pair of shoes or boots every time.
The particular technique used is originally an old Italian process known as “anticatura” or “antique finishing”. This is a time-consuming process - and is highly prized in the world of bespoke shoe making. With the Carlos Santos Patina service, you can own a pair of unique hand-painted shoes for a fraction of the cost of a bespoke pair.
