RIWA

HERITAGE · EMBROIDERED · GILDED

I · The keepsake

Opened like an heirloom.

Every pair arrives in an ivory box made to outlive the shoes, and it will have to try.

II · The plinth

Heritage, set on gold.

Ivory calf leather, a maroon heel counter, and a silhouette our founder's father wore on court in 1962.

III · The hand

Embroidered by hand, crowned in gold.

Each floral panel takes a Jaipur embroiderer eleven hours. The RI crest is cast, then gilded.

IV · The walk

Made for marble floors.

A cupsole with a quiet heel, so the only thing people hear is the compliment.

V · The name

RIWA Heritage 01.

Three hundred pairs, numbered inside the tongue. Made to be handed down.

Est. 1962 · Jaipur and Milan

Some shoes are bought. Ours are inherited. We make one court sneaker, slowly, and build it to reach the next pair of feet in the family.
