Mules - Green Multicolor

By Peruvian fashion brand Cornelio Borda by Renata García-Menacho.

Cornelio Borda's visionary designs take shape through collaboration between Peru and Italy. The actual production is based in Peru and involves specialists from both countries, highlighting our unwavering commitment to sustainability. We prioritize repurposing waste materials and adhere to the principles of sustainable non-fast fashion brands.

In our Alpaca Carpet line, we eschew the use of animal fur, opting for Alpaca wool and, in specific models, Pima Cotton yarn sourced from surplus clothing production in Peru. With this yarn, we meticulously handcraft each carpet, ensuring precision in the stitching process. The final product undergoes a careful hand-brushing to achieve a soft texture, ideal for our shoes and bags. The initial trials of this embroidery technique commenced several years ago with artisans from the Marche Region in Italy. Building on this success, we have sustained this innovative practice by collaborating with talented female artisans from Peru. Each artisan dedicates one day to embroider two pairs of our handmade Alpaca shoes.
