The Potenza Derby Shoe with Brogue Finish

(PRE-PRODUCTION)

Italian Derby in dark brown brushed calf

The Potenza Brogue Derby is a timeless essential, cut from dark brown brushed calf and finished by hand in a workshop in the Marche region. Refined brogue perforations run across the upper, and the brushed finish brings out the shading and depth of the leather — a quiet artisanal nuance set by the maker rather than a polish applied at the end. Natural calf lining inside, a leather sole stitched below, and a silhouette that holds its composure beneath tailoring, business attire, or a long working day. Each pair is made over roughly two months by a single artisan, then sent on.

Upper

Brushed Italian calf in dark brown, with hand-finished nuances that deepen the shading and depth of the leather.

Design

Derby with refined brogue perforations across the upper — detailed rather than ornamental.

Lining

Full-grain calf lining in natural tan — breathable and quick to mould to the foot.

Outsole

Premium leather sole with a discreet black finish — supple, durable, and resoleable.

Fit

Derby silhouette — a versatile classic at home with both formalwear and softer tailoring.

Color

Dark brown — warm, rich, and deepening with wear.

Construction

Roughly 70% handcrafted by a single artisan, with precision machinery for the steps that benefit from it.

Comfort

Cushioned leather insole and calf lining that soften to the foot within a few wears.

Durability

Built for many years of regular wear, with a leather sole that can be resoled rather than replaced.
