Behind the Scenes: The Making of Torys Kempner Slides

Rather than just tell you about the intricate artisanal techniques at the heart of our Summer 2015 collection, we thought wed show you firsthand. Above, a behind-the-scenes look at the craftsmanship of Torys Kempner flat and high-heel slides. While the final product is thoroughly modern, the handiwork behind it is pure tradition from the traditionally dyed leathers to the workshop craftsmen with over 35 years of experience. Heres the process: Each shoe is made from leather thats carefully layered, then sliced vertically and meticulously pieced together to create a striking pattern. You can see step-by-step details of the process in the slideshow.
