100% EUROPEAN

Making a difference, locally

NOUS FAISONS PARTIE DES 5%

95% des sneakers sont aujourd'hui fabriquées hors d'europe. Nous avons choisi d'agir différemment et de produire dans nos contrées afin de vous proposer des sneakers Hors Paires : de grande qualité, européennes, et évidemment asymétriques.

NOTRE IDEAL ❤️

Nous portons l'Union Européenne dans notre cœur, la considérant comme une chance et un projet politique essentiel. Il était donc évident pour nous de créer des sneakers entièrement confectionnées dans l'UE. C'est une garantie de qualité, de respect des conditions de travail et d'une production locale, les normes européennes étant dans les plus strictes au monde.

Porquê?

Le Portugal est un des berceaux de la sneaker en Europe. Malgré le départ de beaucoup de pôles de fabrication européen vers des contrées plus lointaines, la région de Porto a conservé un savoir-faire centenaire. Produire au Portugal est donc un gage de qualité, de durabilité et de production la plus locale possible. C'est le point de départ de sneakers confectionnées différemment.

FROM SOLES TO LACES

THE TASTE OF CRAFTSMANSHIP

Unique expertise. Quality materials

OUR MATERIALS

ROBUST AND SILKY

We source our full-grain leathers from the best Italian tanneries in Lombardy. This guarantees impeccable quality, from suede to smooth leather, as well as strict certifications for wastewater treatment, waste management, and working conditions. Our leathers ensure elegance, comfort, and durability while bringing unique asymmetrical designs to CAVAL.

THEY WON'T LET YOU DOWN

We chose sewn soles, and that's not a minor detail. Most sneakers have soles that are simply glued on, which end up detaching after a few weeks. By sewing the soles, we extend the lifespan of your CAVALs from a few months to several years. This rare craftsmanship is still mastered in Portugal and passed down through generations. It requires great precision and true expertise.

AN EYE FOR DETAIL

CAVAL sneakers are packed with unique details including embroidery, markings, stitching, prints, labels, eyelets... This level of finish and subtle asymmetry is made possible by the extraordinary attention to detail of the artisans with whom we work.

To create mismatched sneakers, we even had to invent a new way of thinking about production lines!

AIM FOR PERFECTION

Beyond an eye for detail, it is a taste for a job well done that drives the workshops with which we collaborate. There are more than 40 steps in the making of a pair of sneakers, all of which require great precision and vigilance to achieve a perfect pair. Together, we have developed a demanding quality control process to ensure that we deliver only pairs that will last and accompany you for a long time in your CAVAL.
