Morning Sabah People,
Over the last two years, our footwear offering has certainly expanded -- from boots & sandals in Italy to Bolos & hand-tooled Babas in Texas, and, of course our signature Sabah in Turkey.
With this expansion, our core promise has only further crystallized: to craft shoes by hand in partnership with small independent workshops. To use only the highest quality materials, primarily leather. To make footwear that is designed for and inspired by our travels. And, in every instance, to produce the kinds of shoes that wear in, not out — only getting better with every trip.
This wasn't our mission from the start, but one that we developed over years honing our own craft and learning what matters to us & our customers. And, perhaps most importantly, from getting to know the stories of our shoemakers and wanting to support their craft. Handmade shoes are increasingly rare.
Our mission felt especially relevant to me over the last two weeks on the road, where I rotated between a pair of Sabahs, Babas, Porto Sandals, and Alto Boots. Each served its own distinct purpose across a trip that took me through four cities, with weather ranging from rainy and cold to warm and sunny.
We met up with friends in every city, swapping shoes, sharing travel stories and spending long days on our feet. And whether hiking down to the San Marcos River or wading through a market in Mexico City, my shoes were always right for the challenge.
All that to say: as you look ahead to spring and summer travels, I’m confident we have something that will serve you well.
Sincerely,
The Sabah Dealer
