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.
