It is true that the price of this kind of labor-intensive and time-consuming hand-painted shoes is tens of thousands of yuan. But the high unit price is not the route our brand should take at all! Originally, it was just because the beauty was so ecstasy that I asked the color master to try a pair and I wore it myself. As a result, too many people are attracted by the natural mottled feeling of patina hand brushes, The explosion of inquiries made me have to think about how to do mass production! Only at an affordable price can everyone get good shoes without reducing the profits of factories and color masters. Discussed with the master for a long time, how to create a win-win situation, I hope that the premise of quality can be maintained, the price can be more affordable, and the master will have more orders. Otherwise, I would sell a pair of 10,000 pairs, and sell 2~3 pairs a month, and the color painter would definitely be boring. If you want to develop it, you have to do it well, otherwise this color painting process will soon be continued in Taiwan 😭 Finally, discuss with the factory and the color master three parties the most suitable implementation plan and start preparations. Originally, the pair I wanted to wear could be made of leather, and I could just use the paint I had on hand to paint it on, but I can’t be rash if I want to wear it for you! From leather testing, paint testing, brushing testing, color testing, color fixing,,, over and over again... This manual painting is really exhausting. Not only the requirements for leather materials are particularly particular, The leather must be natural unpainted aniline dyed cowhide with perfect leather surface, Because manual coloring is equivalent to just applying thin dyes without painting, Therefore, the skin wounds, tendons, and skin scars that are normally found in cowhide should not be present, so as to avoid the thin dye from being unable to cover and affect the appearance! There are many kinds of pigments for brushing shoes, such as water-based, oil-based,,, many pigments with different attributes present different color saturation, brush touch, mottled feeling, color fixing effect,,, are all different, These have to be tested one by one. After more than a year of preparation, the dust is finally settled! The original-color shoes made by the shoe factory have to go through the skillful hands of the color-painting master. Use special brushes & paints to add color layer by layer, Apply one layer and wait until it dries before applying the second layer. Dry it again, brush it again,,, stack it layer by layer until the color is saturated, draw a deep edge with a stroke, and finally polish and polish it! A master, who is only responsible for painting colors for eight hours a day, can only paint 1 to 2 pairs🤣 If you look closely, you can see that the wood grain on the upper is actually the trace of a brush! There are only a handful of masters in Taiwan who do this patina hand-painted, There are very few brands that have hand-painted shoes. We hope that our development of this item will allow this beautiful craftsmanship to continue to be passed down!
