About Quswa Wholecut Formele Skoene

Die Quswa Wholecut is geïnspireer deur die historiese Slag van Badr, en beskik oor met die hand gesnyde Arabiese "Calligxraphitti"-enkripsie op premium Italiaanse leer. Ontwerper Que Shebley verduidelik, "Die Quswa Wholecut is 'n reeks van vyf ontwerpe, elkeen wat die oorspronklike enkripsie voortsit en 'n deurslaggewende oomblik van die slag simboliseer." Elke paar word met die hand geverf deur gebruik te maak van 'n gelaagde patina-tegniek vir unieke diepte. Die sool, vervaardig met 'n afskuinde middel, geslote-kanaal afwerking, en metaal toonbeskerming, voeg 'n verfynde tikkie aristokratiese elegansie by.
