2120 Handcrafted Footwear

If there are connoisseur-grade shoes, then the 2120 will probably fit the bill. Designed in Los Angeles, the outfit’s inaugural Fall 2015 collection are handcrafted in limited quality in Leon, Mexico by factories that practice artisan manufacturing techniques traced back to the 17th century. Vegetable-tanned natural leather can be found throughout the lineup which consists of 12 styles. Style-wise, 2120 adopts a clean, minimalist approach with the shoes crafted from the finest materials available. I know what you are thinking. Made in Mexico? Are the factories that produces these shoes treated fairly? With regard to this, 2120 has this promise:

“All of our shoes are handmade in boutique, small-mid scale factories in Leon where workers receive fair wages and operate within safe, monitored facilities. The highest quality hides are ethically-sourced and hand selected for each collection, stretched over custom lasts for up to 3 days to optimize their structure and shape.”

With the exception of sneakers, which features the finest Vibram soles from Italy, all footwear boasts soles of leather and Goodyear Welted. You can learn more about 2120 and pour over the details of each style over at the company’s Kickstarter endeavor.
