Italian Calfskin Oxford with 3D Embossed Leather
A distinctive expression of contemporary Italian craftsmanship, Palinuro explores the contrast between polished surfaces, sculptural texture and bold proportion.
Crafted from selected Italian calfskin leather, the design combines a glossy deep navy finish with warm rust-toned panels featuring a refined three-dimensional embossed effect. The pattern is impressed into the leather to create visual depth and tactile character while preserving the elegance and natural quality of the calfskin.
The smooth navy leather defines the toe and lower profile with a clean, luminous finish, while the embossed sections introduce a more architectural dimension to the upper. Deep navy trims and carefully considered detailing bring the different elements together in a sophisticated tonal composition.
The shoe is finished with a high-quality leather sole, carefully treated and hand-colored by Italian artisans, adding further depth, character and individuality to each pair.
Every pair is 100% handmade in Italy, where traditional shoemaking expertise meets a more expressive approach to materials, color and proportion. Each element is assembled and finished with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting the Francesco Sensini philosophy of limited production and authentic Italian craftsmanship.
Palinuro is designed for the man who appreciates individuality without excess — a shoe equally suited to elevated casual dressing, contemporary tailoring and distinctive everyday style.
