the choice of leathers

Finsbury adheres to extremely precise specifications when choosing leathers for its shoe collections. Depending on the model, Finsbury primarily uses French leathers from the Tanneries du Puy and also from the Tanneries d'Annonay.

The reputation of Tanneries du Puy is based on maintaining traditional expertise in the manufacture of high-end calfskin, particularly boxcalf. Their profession is to produce high-quality calfskin using a traditional, artisanal process that has become unique in the world.

Since Finsbury shoes are made almost exclusively of leather, the brand's product experts carefully select the French leathers used. The use of full-grain calfskin, the finest and highest-quality part of the leather , gives Finsbury shoes elegance, robustness and refinement.

In the shoemaker's workshops (Italy, Spain, Portugal), handcraft is king.

The Finsbury brand combines the tradition of quality manufacturing with the creative passion of its constantly renewed collections. A craftsmanship, with more than 200 manual operations, a legacy of the techniques used by master shoemakers.
