◇Arche TAINAA Mary Jane (LAEKEO)◇

A Mary Jane with a charming belt strap that exudes a classic atmosphere.
An elegance drifts within the casualness, adding a feminine essence.
It is versatile enough to be used for everyday wear as well as formal occasions.
The high-quality full-grain leather with a beautiful glossy enamel finish is supple and soft, offering a comfortable fit that conforms to the foot.
The sole has a 4cm heel that creates a stylish look, yet overall it is thick, resulting in less incline and stability close to that of flat shoes.
"The sole features a beautiful engraving of the Loire River, the birthplace of Alshu, showcasing a commitment to detail in this pair of shoes."
This is a masterpiece that weaves together French tradition and modern design, bringing exceptional luxury to your feet.

◇About Leather: Arshu uses high-quality, reliable European leather that is LWG certified.
LAEKEO is an enamel leather that has been treated with a varnish on full-grain leather and dried to create a glossy coating.
The surface is protected by a membrane, making it excellent in durability and water resistance.
Unlike regular leather, there is no aging change.
It is a material that gives a formal impression.

◇About the Outsole: The Ruber outsole is manufactured by a cooperative supplier closely connected to European regions such as Spain and Portugal, using the original design from Arshu.

◇About the Design: Alshu designs everything in-house, from the upper to the outsole.
The rounded, supple, and flowing refined lines, modern yet timeless in design, are fundamentally based on a chic casual style that seamlessly integrates into everyday life, strongly influenced by the French "art de vivre" (the art of living).

◇Initiatives on Sustainability: At the heart of Arshu's design is sustainability.
We are committed to eco-design by choosing materials that are durable, resilient, and repairable, aiming to extend the lifespan of our products.
The leather and soles produced in Europe are of high quality and comply with the EU regulation REACH, which regulates chemicals for the protection of human health and the environment.

As brands that design in France and produce in Asia are on the rise, we continue to create authentic "Made in France" shoes crafted by French artisans.
The design, which reflects the French "art de vivre" (the art of living) created by the combination of sustainable organic materials such as natural rubber and leather with traditional French craftsmanship, is a one-of-a-kind piece.
"A brand that allows you to regain the instinctive and fundamental sense of happiness, enjoying individuality that is different from others."

[To wear Arshu shoes more comfortably]
• Alshu shoes use leather dyed with the traditional dyeing technique known as aniline dyeing.
On the one hand, it has a supple and delicate flavor, but on the other hand, "color fading" may occur due to friction, sweating, water exposure, etc.
• The sole of Lactae Hevea may show a slight white veil due to changes in temperature. You can gently wipe it with a cloth or sponge soaked in water with a little lemon (or vinegar) to remove it. This is also a sign that it is made of genuine natural material.
