The Perfect Union
Every year in the coldest weeks of the winter season, strange sculptures begin to appear in the fields all over the island. It is the moment for grafting.
Wild olive trees grow throughout the island and they produce perfectly tiny olives with a thin and bitter skin. However, though the oil from wild olives is supposedly superior to that of domesticated varieties, the yield is much, much lower. And so the grafting game begins.

The Pretziada Boot
by Pretziada Studio
€ 435,00
A polished remake of the classic shepherd boot, this was once the only shoe worn in the south of Sardinia. Women, men and children all had one pair for the country and one for the town. With an overlap under the laces, a fold-over tongue and a sturdy Ideal construction, these boots are made to keep out rain and mud. Made entirely in Italy in small, artisan batches from vacchetta leather, they are water-resistant and long lasting. The smooth sole is an original feature - handy both for easy cleaning and for remaining incognito - but may slip on certain wet surfaces.
Materials:
Vacchetta leather, calf-skin lining, 100% rubber soles, leather laces.
