Differentiation is achieved through material and subtle design refinements to appeal to the mid-tier market. Instead of patent leather, it uses genuine suede, which is trending and offers a softer, more premium texture. The toe shape is updated to a more refined almond silhouette, and the heel is a more distinctive stacked or subtly sculpted block shape. By moving production to a region known for quality footwear like Portugal, the brand can balance craftsmanship with a more accessible price than "Handmade in Brazil."
