Our Craft

Jedes Atelier, mit dem wir zusammenarbeiten, hat strenge Tests durchlaufen. Durch umfangreiche Recherchen und Besuche in verschiedenen europäischen Fabriken wählen wir nur die wenigen aus, die unserer Meinung nach erstklassige Qualität liefern. Nichts wird dem Zufall überlassen. Im Laufe der Jahre konnten wir enge Beziehungen zu diesen professionellen Handwerkern aufbauen, die gelernt haben, was nötig ist, um die MORJAS-Qualität zu liefern, die wir kennen und lieben.


Goodyear Welted Shoes

Tucked away in the village of Almansa, our family-owned factory has been crafting handmade shoes since the 1920s.


True quality can’t be rushed. Each pair takes eight weeks to make, moving through more than 128 thoughtful steps — cut, stitched, shaped and finished by hand. The result is a shoe made to last, with character that deepens over time.

Espadrilles

Our espadrilles are handmade in Caravaca de la Cruz, Southeast Spain — a region steeped in shoemaking tradition. Every pair is crafted using time-honoured techniques, with natural jute as a central material. The same jute-soled shoes were once worn by horsemen racing uphill during the town’s famed festival, Los Caballos del Vino.

Small Leather Goods

Handmade in Ubrique, Spain — an area globally recognised for its leather craftsmanship. It began with the women of the village, stitching tobacco pouches called petacas. Craftsmanship ran through families—leather goods were taken home, finished around the table after dinner, with every generation contributing. A skill passed down, stitch by stitch. Today, that legacy continues in one of the region’s finest ateliers.

Moccasins

We began in Spain, moved through Portugal, and found what we were looking for in Italy. After a long search for an atelier that could craft our take on the iconic boat shoe, we discovered Padula — a small town tucked in the mountains of Campania.
