DOUBLE MONK STRAP SHOES 080799 PALMA ALBALADEJO COLLECTION

The Double Monk Shoes Palma belong to the Albaladejo Collection, the line where Carmina’s shoemaking reaches its most exacting technical standard. Crafted entirely in Mallorca, as are all models of the house, they condense six generations of expertise into a construction defined by structural precision and disciplined proportion.

The design is structured around a clean vamp and a defined toe cap that reinforces the formal character of the model. The heel is developed from a single piece of leather, free from a central back seam, requiring absolute accuracy in pattern cutting and lasting to preserve continuity and uniform tension through the rear structure. The double buckle closure introduces character without disturbing the balance of the silhouette.

The Palma last provides controlled elongation and defined geometry. The toe features a slightly flattened profile at its tip, the waist is clearly shaped, and the transition toward the heel remains clean and proportioned. Volume is carefully contained, producing a firm and architectural line without unnecessary rigidity.

The upper is crafted from brown Burnish Calf selected under exceptionally strict criteria. Only the finest 10% of each hide is used, taken from the most homogeneous and structurally stable areas. The burnished finish adds tonal depth and surface nuance while preserving fiber consistency and allowing natural development with wear.

As with all models in the Albaladejo Collection, it incorporates Goodyear 3.0 construction — an evolved interpretation of traditional welted shoemaking that enhances initial flexibility and progressive adaptation without compromising durability. The waist is sculpted from both sides with precision, creating a more defined profile. Sole edges are finished thinner than in standard construction, reinforcing visual clarity.

Each pair is fitted with a JR leather sole, internationally recognized for density and resilience. A discreet brass toe plate protects the front without altering proportion. The interior features a two-tone lining, cut exclusively from the noblest sections of full-grain hides, maintaining material coherence throughout.

The Double Monk Shoes Palma in brown Burnish Calf represent a precise and balanced interpretation of the classic double monk within the Albaladejo Collection.
