Our Craft
Jedes Atelier, mit dem wir zusammenarbeiten, hat strenge Tests durchlaufen. Durch umfangreiche Recherchen und Besuche in verschiedenen europäischen Fabriken wählen wir nur die wenigen aus, die unserer Meinung nach erstklassige Qualität liefern. Nichts wird dem Zufall überlassen. Im Laufe der Jahre konnten wir enge Beziehungen zu diesen professionellen Handwerkern aufbauen, die gelernt haben, was nötig ist, um die MORJAS-Qualität zu liefern, die wir kennen und lieben.
Goodyear Welted Shoes
In the small village of Almansa lies our family-owned factory, where our team have been crafting handmade shoes of supreme quality since the 1920s. Quality often requires time. Each pair takes 8 weeks to make and involves over 128 thoughtful steps, from the first cut to the last finish. Over 61 dedicated working stations are passed. The result is a meticulously crafted shoe with superior quality that is well worth the wait.

Espadrilles
Our factory is located in Caravaca de la Cruz, in the Southeast of Spain. It’s an important area of the ancient shoe culture and well known for its traditional local festivities, for example, Los Caballos del Vino, where horsemen, during the race, ran up the town’s hill in handmade espadrilles with jute soles.
The current production process maintains many parts of the traditional method - using jute, a tropical shrub, as one of its primary raw materials in a completely handmade manufacturing system.

Small Leather Goods
It all started with the women of Ubrique, who began the history of craftsmanship in the village by stitching tobacco pouches called petacas. Even today, people from Ubrique are called petaqueros. Traditionally, people would take the leather goods home to finish after dinner around the dining table. Whole families partook in helping each other to stitch the goods, even the youngest in the family, which created a unique and inherited understanding of the craft.

Moccasins
We started in Spain, continued to Portugal and ended up in Italy.
After searching far and wide for an atelier that could make our version of the iconic driving shoe, we finally found a little town in the mountains of Campania, Italy, called Padula.
