''This shoe is made of amazingly beautiful white wash snake print leather. It's produced by a tannery in the middle of Santa Croce su'll arno, the epicentre of the tannery world. The people working at the tannery are not only super friendly but also very enthused about what we make from their materials. Of course, when you buy a pair of shoes you cannot know this, but there is a tanner running around in Italy, showing a photo of this model to all his friends: "Encridibele! Que bella! Di Van Bommel Ollanda, Pelle nostro! Belle Scarpe!”
