SKOFABRIKEN KAVAT IS A FAMILY COMPANY RICH IN HERITAGE AND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SHOES. THERE IS A LIFETIME OF EXPERIENCE IN EVERY PAIR WE MAKE. OUR SHOES ARE A TESTAMENT TO PASSION, SKILL AND DEDICATION. WE BELIEVE THAT GENUINE CRAFTSMANSHIP COMBINED WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGY IS THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS. THIS IS HOW WE ARE TURNING OUR OLD SHOEMAKING TRADITIONS INTO NEW. MAKING OUR HISTORY OUR FUTURE.

LIFETIME OF EXPERIENCE IN EVERY PAIRWHO WE AREOUR LANGUAGE IS FOOTWEARToday the 4th straight generation is active in our shoe factory. The Kavat concept exists for the individual who seeks a personal experience, someone who rejects the mass made. Our language is footwear, a universally understood lexicon of passion and craftsmanship. Fine materials and painstaking attention to detail make our products desirable on weekdays, weekends or one-off occasions. Something to be proud of.

WHAT WE STAND FORCAN BE WORN FOR YEARSWe believe today’s sustainable fashion is about clothing or footwear that continues to be relevant – that can be worn for years. It is the straight opposite to disposable fashion. Our concept is about the quality of leather, the construction, intelligence of design, and the ability of a product to withstand the test of time. We address a new pattern of consumption and champion the overall product’s lifecycle approach.

YOUR OWN IDENTITY AND LIFESTYLEOUR DESIGNRIGHT CHARACTER AND ATTITUDEOur style is inspired from original retro designs from the 1960’s and 70’s era. These shoes are a testament of uncompromising comfort, quality and timeless design. The exquisite vegetable tanned and ecologic leather allows your feet to breath more naturaly than any other material. And there is no other material that ages as beatifully as vegetable tanned leather. The longer you wear your boots the more they get the right character and attitude. These boots will be a mark of your own identity and lifestyle.

HOW WE DO ITYEARS OF EXPERIENCEIt takes time and numerous of processes to make a pair of good shoes. Fine shoes are distinguished by three factors: Top quality materials, years of experience and tireless enthusiasm. No machine can match the precision of the well trained eyes and skilled hands turning leather into shoes.

CARE INSTRUCTIONSPREMIUM NATURAL MATERIALSOur leathers are premium natural materials and need to be looked after like an old friend. With adequate care the leather will develop its own patina and individual beauty. Little traces of use are also part of high-class leather and lending character to it. Giving the shoes a polish from time to time with a natural wax, will not only make our shoes live longer, they will look fresh and new again. It is said that the famous dandy Beau Brummell polished his boots with champagne and eggs. Soldiers have been known to use the “spit-and-polish” method.

A more practical approach to shoe care would include the following:�� Clean your shoes on a regular basis to prevent dirt from

accumulating.�� Polish leather shoes regularly to maintain their colour and

suppleness. Use natural oil or wax to maintain water-repellency and the right shine.

�� If your shoes are wet, dry them at room temperature away from direct heat. Insert a shoe tree or a ball of newspaper to help keep the shape and absorb the moisture.

�� Alternate shoes; let your shoes rest. Keep two or three pairs NVPUN��^PSS�L_[LUK�[OL�SPML�VM�[OL�ZOVLZ��I\[�HSZV�ZPNUPÄJHU[�PUJYLHZL�comfort and the well-being sensation by using different shoes thru out the week.

Our leathers are processed to guarantee the great respect of the environment. A process based on slow passage of time and the expert work by hands of master tanners. The natural and vegetable tanning process has been around for thousands of years and is 100% environmentaly friendly. Our vegetable tanned leather is hydrophobic and therefor water repellent thanks to special tannins, natural grease and waxes.
