◇About Leather: The leather used by Arshu is high-quality, reliable European leather certified by LWG. SEQUIN is made from full-grain goat leather that has been treated with a metallic finish and embossed with a lizard pattern. It features a smooth, soft, and supple texture.

◇About the Outsole: While many companies use synthetic materials, Alshu continues to adopt soles made from natural rubber. The Lactae Hevea sole, made from 100% natural rubber, is a highly valuable sole crafted by skilled artisans at a partner company with the EPV (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant) label, made one by one by hand in France. Natural rubber contains countless natural air bubbles, creating a natural air cushion that produces unparalleled elasticity and flexibility. It is also a sustainable material that causes minimal damage to the Earth's environment.

◇About the Design: Alshu designs everything in-house, from the upper to the outsole. The rounded, supple, and flowing refined lines, while modern, embody a design that transcends generations, fundamentally based on chic casual that blends seamlessly into everyday lifestyles, strongly influenced by the French "Art de Vivre" (the art of living).

◇Sustainability Initiatives: At the heart of Arshu's design is sustainability. We are committed to eco-design by choosing durable, long-lasting, and repairable materials, 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.

[To wear Arshu shoes more comfortably]
- Alshu shoes use leather dyed with the traditional dyeing technique known as aniline dyeing. While it is supple and has a delicate flavor, it may experience "color fading" due to friction, sweating, water exposure, etc.
• The sole of Lactae Hevea may develop a slight white veil due to changes in temperature. It can be removed by gently wiping with a cloth or sponge soaked in water with a little lemon (or vinegar) added. This is also a sign that it is made of genuine natural material.
