Santoni sneakers in royal blue made of suede

The recognition value is high: only a genuine shoe from Santoni shows this artistic color gradient and has the inimitable antique look. The fine leather is built up, colored and polished in up to nine layers of color in time-consuming handwork. Experience, skill and a sense of proportion are essential to create the perfect shades with a brush and cloth. Added to this are the hand-made seams and decorative seams, which are carefully crafted using sophisticated techniques. A manufacturing process that only a few shoe manufacturers still master. They make Santoni shoes unique and valued worldwide and the best that Italian master craftsmanship has to offer.

The tanned and dyed leather is stretched and shaped on the lasts at Santoni over three weeks. Only then can the inner and outer soles be sewn on precisely. 600 hand-placed stitches require a pair of oxfords or loafers. This is how shoes are created that defy any zeitgeist and stand for nothing except their own exclusivity.

SOBS Cologne

 

The SOBS company was founded in Cologne in 1995.

After a successful first few years, in 2003 we moved to the 200m² large, inviting premises at Hahnenstraße 10 in the heart of Cologne city center. Since then, the shop has been easily accessible between Neumarkt and Rudolfplatz, near Mittelstrasse. The modern and luxuriously furnished rooms provide the perfect setting to present the first-class products.

Owner Oliver Brose has made it his mission to only stock the highest quality Italian fashion brands for men. The aim is to interpret classic and handmade Italian men's fashion in a modern and contemporary way.

In this luxury segment, the SOBS store offers a selection that is almost unique in Germany. In addition to the luxury range of over 25 brands, service and customer satisfaction are of utmost importance in the owner-managed business. Individual customer advice, custom-made products and changes are offered in the in-house studio upon customer request.

In 2012, with the launch of SOBS' own internet shop, customers were offered the opportunity to purchase luxury items conveniently and easily online.

SOBS men's fashion is considered a unique institution in Cologne and beyond the borders of the Rhineland with a distinctive interior and a unique range of brands.
