Sabahs are made entirely by hand from 100% leather in either Texas or Turkey—two regions with distinct yet deeply rooted relationships to the material. The result is a shoe that varies subtly from pair to pair, even within the same size.
The architectural approach emphasizes simplicity, durability, and contextual integration, with brick as the primary material for its structural capacity and long-term performance.
