Alex
Brown
Minimalist and casual style leather sneakers.
Our Alex sneakers are handmade in Elche (Spain) - a town of artisans renowned for its quality since the 19th century.
Instead of using a chrome-dyeing process, the Portegna leather is dyed with a unique blend of natural dyes and colors derived from flowers and tree bark. The leather is treated with olive oil to nourish, soften, and strengthen it.
Our process has two benefits over chrome dyeing, it results in a leather-looking natural that develops a unique "patina" over time. It improves with use and the passage of time and is certainly more environmentally sensitive.
