Our Materials
We prioritize working with natural materials and source our leathers only from Leather Working Group-certified tanneries in Italy. That’s because natural materials are more durable, easy to repair when you’ve given them a little too much love, and ensure the least amount of environmental harm.
Nappa
Often used for luxury shoes and handbags, nappa is a smooth, full-grain leather known for its soft feel and refined look.
Calf Leather
A fine grain leather, prized for its softness and exceptional durability. We often use it as a lining for its glove-like feel against the skin.
Tumbled Leather
Full-grain leather softened through a tumbling process, resulting in a soft, textured finish and a broken-in feel from day one.
EXPLORE TUMBLED LEATHER STYLES
Embossed & Printed Leather
Tuscany’s renowned tanneries have perfected techniques to make croc-embossed and python- and leopard-printed leathers look like the real thing.
EXPLORE EMBOSSED & PRINTED LEATHER STYLES
Nubuck
A top-grain leather that's been lightly buffed to create a velvety, matte surface.
Suede
A soft, velvety leather made from the underside of the hide. Its fine nap gives it a luxurious texture and rich color.
Leather Working Group
The Leather Working Group (LWG) is a nonprofit dedicated to more sustainable leather production. M.Gemi sources all leathers from LWG-certified tanneries.
Shearling
Soft lamb or sheepskin with the wool still attached. Shearling is naturally insulating, breathable, and cozy against the skin.
Patent
Leather finished with a high-gloss coating for a sleek, mirror-like shine.
Naplak
A high-shine patent leather with a slightly crinkled surface. It’s also more supple than traditional patent.
EVA
Short for Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate, EVA is a lightweight, shock-absorbing foam used in soles for cushion and durability.
XL ExtralightⓇ
XL ExtralightⓇ is an Italian company that has developed a proprietary sole material three times lighter than traditional EVA. And with every step of the production process designed to reduce waste and environmental harm, it’s a purchase you can feel good about in more ways than one.
EXPLORE MEN'S XL EXTRALIGHTⓇ SOLES
Natural Rubber
