Have you ever wondered why leather shoes are so expensive? And why on sale the price can be 50% less? Romeo Soler, founder of Labelfree, raised the same questions and proposed a different proposal to the existing footwear market.
Brands, advertising, commercial agents, distributors, stores and other intermediaries make the sale process much more expensive. Then the final consumer has to pay 150€ or more for shoes that cost 30€. Romeo Soler has proposed a totally different system. The idea is to offer shoes that, without changing the manufacturing process or giving up the quality of the materials, avoid all these intermediaries. In this way, it is possible to sell shoes at the price of shoes.
With this approach, Romeo Soler founded Labelfree, an innovative project that bases its Internet sales and distribution channel on the Internet. This allows direct linking of manufacturers with the final customer, offering a fair price. Consequently, it is possible to offer leather shoes at a very good price which, at time of sale, presents an acceptable discount.
We really liked the idea. In fact, we already presented Labelfree briefly in the handmade fashion post. Since then we have been curious and wanted to know more about their shoes. So we have been encouraged to try one of his most iconic models: the Berti.
Handmade leather shoes with a lovely design
Finding handmade shoes can be relatively easy, especially if we do not care about the price. But if we also look for a leather shoes, with a young and daring design, the thing is complicated. Labelfree is among those few companies that do offer it, with an attractive price and a clear commitment to quality materials.
That philosophy is found in all its products. The Berti model, for example, presents an elegant and fashionable finish. Although it is a platform leather shoes, and its shape and appearance can be easily combined. To go to work, to go out with friends, to walk in the center … the shoe fits perfectly to the shape of the foot, allowing a comfortable and stable footprint. Also they are light, so you will forget that you wear them. We have tried it in S’Agaró (Costa Brava) and the truth is that we have been delighted.
The Berti model combines with trousers or dress, being a piece with character to complete the look. If you are looking for comfortable, sturdy and stylish shoes, Berti does not disappoint at all. It is an ideal outfit for a spring-summer.
It should be noted that we have loved the idea of Labelfree making their leather shoes without labeling. Instead, in the template you will find printed “Made with love in Spain”. In the small details is the difference 😉
