CREATING THE LAST
Carmina has a collection of over 200 different lasts, both in our archives as in the making.

CREATING AND TRACING THE PATTERN
Our artisans draw the model directly onto the wooden last

CREATING THE PATTERN PIECES
The lines traced on the last in three dimensions are tessellated onto pattern pieces with which we can then click the leather.

We have a regular stock of over 18000 leather hides in our factory. All of them are sourced from the best tanneries to ensure the highest possible quality.

CLICKING
Once the material has been selected, our artisans cut by hand all the leather parts.
