About Quswa Wholecut Svečane cipele

Quswa Wholecut je inspirisan istorijskom Bitkom kod Badra, sa ručno urezanom arapskom "Calligxraphitti" enkripcijom na vrhunskoj italijanskoj koži. Dizajner Que Shebley objašnjava: "Quswa Wholecut je serija od pet dizajna, pri čemu svaki nastavlja izvornu enkripciju, simbolizirajući ključni trenutak bitke." Svaki par je ručno farban korištenjem tehnike slojevite patine za jedinstvenu dubinu. Đon, izrađen sa zakošenim strukom, završnicom sa zatvorenim kanalom i metalnim štitnicima na vrhu, dodaje profinjeni dodir aristokratske elegancije.

Design Challenge
The challenges come from perfection the right mold of the shoe and design as well as the pattern and exact placement of the seams. Many prototypes are made to finalize the right cut, size and stitch line end of each pattern to end with the best design aesthetic to the foot. Other challenges include perfecting the patina painting on each Part separately while creating a consistency for each color and piece in the pattern, as well as layering perfectly each pattern layer without over whelming the leather so that it keeps its natural supple and new exterior. Also perfecting the placement of the calligxraphitti is challenging since certain leathers should be more visible than others for aesthetics and significance reasons.

It is as you are working almost the same as on human skin, you have to be very carefull as any mark will show and it doesn't heal.
