Alvaro Gonzales ALEX Handmade Italian Sandals in Dark Brown Suede & Leather Excellent used condition. No rips, stains or wear through. Only worn a time or two, please see photos for exact condition and measurements. Cleaned and sanitized, leather and suede have been conditioned. Slip on double strap sandals in top quality materials, hand made in Italy. Mr Álvaro González is an accessories designer who spent two decades crafting fine leather goods for brands such as Loewe, Valentino, Tod’s and Valextra before striking out on his own with his eponymous brand, Álvaro. Mr González’s designs are a masterclass in restraint, and the materials he uses are second to none. The vegetable-tanned leather used in these smart two-strap sandals has a rich chestnut hue that’s designed to deepen naturally over time, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself coming back to these sandals year after year. Álvaro meticulously proportions the bridge straps of these brown Alex sandals to frame the foot with a minimalist verve. They're handmade by Florentine artisans from vegetable-tanned leather, then set on a stacked sole that's hallmarked with a debossed logo.
