Wholecut’s

Wholecut’s, or il Cardinali, are social shoes made from a single piece of leather, which gives them an elegant, minimalist look. Their history goes back to the tradition of British tailoring, where the search for a clean and sophisticated design became a standard in formal footwear. The absence of visible seams not only beautifies, but also increases the shoe’s durability. They are generally made from high quality leathers, such as bovine or goat leather, which provides an exceptional finish and comfort, however suede is always an alternative to consider.

Wholecuts are recommended for formal settings such as weddings, business meetings or sophisticated social events. They go well with slim-fit suits and can be worn in both traditional colours, such as black or brown, and bolder variants, such as patinas and print designs depending on the occasion. It’s important to keep them clean and moisturised to preserve the integrity of the leather and the shape of the shoe.
