The Quswa Noir - Cleopatra Edition redefines elegance with a bold nod to history and artistry. This third iteration of our award-winning design takes the sophistication of the original and elevates it into a masterpiece of modern luxury.

Crafted from premium Italian black patent leather, the Quswa Noir reflects a flawless mirror shine, evoking the timeless allure of Cleopatra herself. The sleek silhouette is accentuated with engraved patterns inspired by calligraffiti—a subtle homage to its origins. The shoe's pièce de résistance lies beneath: the sole. Adorned with intricate Cleopatra-inspired artwork, it serves as a secret treasure, a story only its wearer knows but carries with them every step of the way.

Constructed with a full leather interior for unparalleled comfort, this version features a refined 360-degree Goodyear welt, ensuring durability and flexibility. The unique fiddled waist design adds a sculptural element, while the addition of a metal toe tap reinforces its longevity.

Whether paired with a bespoke suit or worn to make an impression at the most exclusive events, the Quswa Noir - Cleopatra Edition is more than a shoe—it's an icon of power, artistry, and individuality. Designed for those who know that luxury isn’t just worn, it’s lived.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Sample Sale items include floor models which may show tiny imperfections such as scratches or scuffs on the sole and/or leather.

Why this costs what it does

11 days, not 11 hours

Every patina pair is hand-painted and oxidized over 11 days. Six to nine layers of dye, each one soaking in overnight before the next. Skip this and the color sits on the surface — and rubs off in a season.

What's actually inside

Genuine cork filler, not foam — it molds to your foot over the first 50 wears. A stacked leather heel, not injection-molded plastic. Hand-welted construction that can be resoled four or five times instead of thrown out.

Built to last, not to sell once

Most factory shoes are cement-bonded and can't be repaired. Ours are built to be resoled and re-welted for years — the cost reflects a shoe you'll own once, not replace every season.
