Braiding, the union of craftsmanship and trend
Just look at the work of our artisans to see that they hold a lifetime of tradition within them. A heritage they have received, in many cases, from their parents and grandparents. And which, thanks to their work, reaches us in each of Micuir's designs.
One of those legacies is leather braiding, a technique with more than a century of history that remains alive today thanks to the Spanish shoemaking tradition.
But before we continue talking about tradition and craftsmanship, we want to leave you with this thought: when you see a mother braiding her daughter's hair, your subconscious conjures up an image of love and tenderness. That's because braiding takes time, patience, and a great deal of affection—something a mother is willing to do for her daughter.
The same is true for our artisans. Every time they sit down to work, time stands still. Everything else fades away. It's a time to work with their hands and infuse each of our designs with the love and passion inherited from their families.
Madeira, they smell of the sea and a fresh breeze
We're starting with one of your favorite designs: Madeira . With a braided toe in aqua green that evokes the endless color of the sea and a heel in tan suede that recalls the soft touch of sand.
Thanks to the braiding technique, this design achieves great flexibility and softness without losing any strength. This contrast works perfectly, making them feel like a second skin for our bare feet when the weather gets warmer.
Kora, gold braids and caramel
Now it's the sandals' turn. Perhaps one of the most delicate types of footwear. With just a few straps, the entire design must be both strong and flexible. That's where the expert hands of our artisans and the braiding technique come into play.
Our Kora sandal is the result of countless hours of work. The result is a design that is delicate to look at but capable of withstanding days on your feet and years in your wardrobe.
Frida and braided bags, beyond summer
While it is true that the braiding technique evokes summer, the hand-woven rocking chairs of our grandmothers, wicker baskets and rope chairs, it also works perfectly in less summery designs.
Proof of this lies in our braided handbags and Frida boots . Icons of our brand, they are created with braided cowhide thanks to the union of tradition and innovation in our artisan workshops.
Ultimately, the braiding is the signature touch our master artisans leave on each Micuir design. A mark forever imprinted on the leather of our shoes and bags, and one that will now accompany you every day.
