Butts and Shoulders garments are based around natural vegetable tanned leather. Our name refers to the best parts of a leather hide; the butts and the shoulders. Because no chemicals are used for the tanning, the leather is still ‘alive’. And therefore all of our garments will become more beautiful with wear, and age. This unique process is the core of our brand DNA, because it is all about slow fashion.
Our natural tanned leather becomes better over time
Our collection is small. We introduce one big item each year. Last year we welcomed the Monkey Boots (picture above) And all of our items are designed in Holland and constructed in Portugal. We keep our circle of influence very small. All within Europe. This way we have a strong focus on craftsmanship and high-quality materials and production methods.

Apart from the Monkeys, the Worker Boots and Heritage Boots are two exceptional pieces of footwear. The vegetable tanned leather will absorb all the elements. Whether you go on a hike or wear them to work, the patina it develops will be your personal story.
Your patina tells your personal story
And last but not least, we have the Classics. The first piece of footwear from our collection. Back then, we made a great video of our journey in Portugal:
