The PP shoes are handmade in Italy in natural fabric uppers — velvet, silk, cotton, linen, or wool depending on the design — with leather soles. Not "Italian leather" throughout: the upper is natural fabric, the sole is leather. This is the PP shoe's material distinction: the upper is the natural fabric wardrobe's extension into footwear.

The occasion register. The PP handmade Italian shoes are the evening footwear for the PP natural fabric wardrobe — for the hotel restaurant, the formally observed dinner, the resort evening occasion where the linen shirt or the Amelia requires a shoe that matches its natural fabric register. Not a beach shoe, not a sport shoe, not a casual shoe.

Care. Natural fabric uppers require the same material respect as the linen garments: avoid water, store in the dust bag, clean with a natural fabric brush. The leather sole benefits from a shoe tree between wearings. The Belgian Linen® certification mark is not on the shoes — but the natural fabric upper and the handmade Italian construction place them within the same PP natural materials philosophy as every other garment in the collection.
