At Cayumas, every shoe we make carries more than just a shape: it carries a story, a commitment, and a soul. We are the ones who bring to life the concept we call quiet luxury —the kind that doesn't shout, that doesn't burst with labels, but rather makes its way with the understated elegance of authenticity and tradition. Our work is an act of love for handcrafted footwear, and we want to share the experience from our perspective, so that you can understand what it truly means to create something so special.
We do things differently because we believe in the value of handcrafted work, in the honesty of a shoe made without haste or shortcuts. Each pair has a unique character because we don't use glue or cardboard. Instead, we exclusively employ hand-stitched seams, that patient work that connects us to the essence of traditional shoemaking.
When we create a pair, everything is stitched: the sole, the welt, every single component. This is one of the features we're most proud of and what truly sets us apart. Not a single piece is glued; we replace that with traditional assembly techniques, where the needle takes center stage and the thread strengthens the structure so it lasts through time and use.
We know that speed is the norm these days, but at Cayumas we understand that time is the true luxury . That's why crafting a pair takes us between one and one and a half hours, without pressure, without compromising on quality. This time is an investment, a tribute to detail and the patience that allows us to deliver a unique shoe, with its own personality, that speaks of our commitment to tradition and genuine craftsmanship.
At Cayumas, we're not just obsessed with the how, but also with the what. Our materials are carefully selected because we know that every fiber has its own unique voice. We work with organic Italian velvet, organic Belgian linen, and suede from Milan—three treasures that not only guarantee quality, but also tell stories of respect for nature and for craftsmanship.
Each component is part of the quiet luxury we propose, because these organic and noble materials embody the authenticity and exclusivity we want to deliver to those who wear a pair of Cayumas.
When we say we don't use glue, we mean that our work is honest down to the last detail. There's no trickery or hidden agenda here. Everything is stitched, out in the open, and with pride. That means the sole is stitched, the welt is stitched, and all the assembly is done by hand.
This method is not only a declaration of artisanal principles, but also an act of respect towards our customers. We want those who wear Cayumas to feel a real connection with the shoe, to know that they are wearing something that is not only beautiful, but made with integrity and dedication.
We like to call our product "quiet luxury" because it represents an exclusivity that doesn't need to be loud. It's a luxury that's experienced in the texture of the fabric, in the quality of the stitching, in the story behind every thread. We're not just shoemakers; we're guardians of a tradition that values craftsmanship, natural materials, and a slower pace of life.
For us, it's essential that people understand that Cayumas isn't just a shoe to use and discard; it's a symbol of authenticity, respect for time, and a commitment to sustainability and exclusivity. Our aim is to connect with an audience that values tradition, genuine craftsmanship, and a relaxed lifestyle, where quality and exclusivity are natural and evident.
When someone chooses a pair of Cayumas, they want much more than just a pretty shoe. They want the experience of wearing a piece crafted entirely by hand, where every stitch and every material reflects a story of tradition, care, and respect for the environment.
We want people to first understand our artisanal and traditional values: nothing in our processes is anything other than handmade, done carefully and with techniques that respect the integrity of the footwear. Then there's sustainability: the use of organic materials and the rejection of industrial glues demonstrate a serious commitment to a cleaner world. And finally, exclusivity: each pair is unique, because the handcrafted nature of our work results in subtle variations that make each pair special.
We don't focus on durability because we know that handcrafted footwear depends on care and personal use, but we do focus on the fact that each pair is a work of art that can accompany you with elegance and authenticity.
At Cayumas, we want everyone to find the perfect pair that resonates with their style and values. That's why we offer distinct collections for women and men, carefully designed and crafted using our artisanal process.
For those seeking elegance, authenticity, and that touch of understated luxury in women's fashion, we invite you to explore our women's collection . Here you'll find pieces that combine style, comfort, and the art of hand-sewing, ideal for a relaxed and authentic lifestyle.
On the other hand, our men's collection offers shoes that honor tradition with refined design and premium materials. These shoes reflect personality and a commitment to craftsmanship, perfect for those who value understated exclusivity.
Each collection represents the essence of Cayumas: quiet luxury, sustainability and true craftsmanship to accompany the steps of those who seek more than just footwear.
At Cayumas, every step we take is an act of love for tradition and a clear message: true luxury is built with calm, respect, and dedication. This is our legacy, our way of understanding footwear, and the gift we want to offer to those who appreciate genuine craftsmanship and a slower pace of life.
We want those who wear a pair of Cayumas to feel in every stitch and every texture that they are walking through a story that deserves to be told and cherished. That is our commitment, today and always.
