Ladies Pumps use a whole-cut leather top with a low vamp, lined with either quilted silk or plain leather, and trimmed with braid at the opening. The full leather sole is either glued onto the bottom, common on cheaper styles, or sewn as they are with our high-quality bespoke styles, using a shallow slit to lift a flap of leather around the edge to recess and hide the stitching. The sole is comprised of several layers of leather put together.
