Materials & Craftsmanship

Premium Cowhide: Made from high-quality tanned leather resistant to moisture and wear, guaranteeing years of use.
Hand-Woven Upper: The upper part of the shoe is masterfully woven with thin leather straps (oputa), allowing the foot to breathe.
Anatomical Fit: Natural leather perfectly adapts to the shape of the foot over time, providing maximum comfort.
Traditional Weaving: An authentic construction technique passed down through generations, ensuring durability and a signature look.

While the beaked model was a symbol of pride and often a military past, the opanci without a beak represented the elegance and daily life of the Šumadija host. They were an inseparable part of the image of a man who respects the land and tradition. Crafting these shoes requires exceptional weaving skills to achieve perfect symmetry without the aid of a beak. These opanci faithfully interpret that legacy, offering you the chance to wear footwear that has paved the way through Serbian history for generations, carrying the scent of leather and the sound of tradition in every stitch.
