concept larchivium The material texture of rich and very light leathers, such as calf, semi aniline and vegetable, is enhanced by low reliefs. Surface techniques are synonymous with depth, to enhance decorative motifs, thicknesses and style. The look of the most sophisticated leathers for semirigid bags and glossy matt boots will be smooth, clean and thin. Trompe l’oeil effects made with metallic membranes are enriched with digitally hand-painted effects. Bubbles and flowers are embroidered on easily moulded lamb skins. Fur effects are also the excuse to find a new material interpretation. Made of yarns braided with leather strips, furs display various lengths and are coupled with thin leather layers in sheepskin version or double face effect fur. Tartan and check patterns on fabric are a classic that is renewed with new finishes, because finishings are often slippery, waxed and semi-opaque, craquelé. Interesting veins on flesh splits let you catch a sight of two-tones on both sides. Metal details are dark, blackened, almost tone on tone with brown ebony colours or darkened mahogany.
slow core Leathers look like natural regenerated materials. Split leather and sheepskin, buffalo and calf leather with rough, wild, nomadic, crafted treatments. Braidings and scratchings will be very important to enhance the veins on leathers. Classic skins have very soft and well-blended fillings and marbled effects. Impeccably finished Nappa and smooth leathers are processed with puffed up paddings for minimal and very neat models. Fabrics such as felt and regenerated compounds have mélange, poorly finished and compact aspects. Soft and smooth coats and finishes ennoble fibres and leathers. Metal fittings are clean, waxed and lacquered, without oversights.

concept c_y_v_a virtual adventure The essence of the matter is the triumph of the new synthetic, artificial, recycled, technological material with a thick patina of vinyl, liquid paint, glaze. There will be more fabrics than leathers, but fabrics that do not resemble themselves, in the usual sense of the term. Textile compounds take their place in the Olympus of the most innovative materials, made with agglomerates of new consistencies and textures. The shoe will be special because its production process starts from the raw material, as does the bag. Next-gen materials with brand new grain are being created. They are gummy and slippery, dusty and dry, soft and in relief. Material effects lend themselves to double-sided volumes. Couplings and paddings offer new assemblies, with air inside, silicone and different foam compounds. Creasings and layerings are often optical effects. Metal fittings as well as soles come from upcycling compounds, as do small accessories. The laser will engrave everything, also using complex techniques that print and drill on extreme angles. The digital artisan uses special machinery also for processes, which become part of the final result.
