Introducing Handwoven Palermo Babas ☀️

Jun 30, 2024, 1:54 PM•sabah

Good Morning Sabah People,

We’ve made just 274 pairs of this premier style in our Collector’s Series, which combines rare craft techniques and materials from around the world with the abilities of the talented shoemakers in our El Paso workshop.

The upper of our Palermo Baba features intricate, hand-woven, vegetable-tanned leather crafted by skilled artisans from the north of Spain. These artisans hail from the town of Almanza, renowned for its artisanal shoemaking heritage dating back to the early 18th century.

These exquisite woven uppers are then meticulously crafted into the Palermo Baba at our El Paso workshop, with only 274 pairs made.

The beauty of these authentically woven Babas is not only in the distinct appearance, but also the enhanced comfort as the weave moves & forms with your feet at every step. Our use of vegetable tanned leather ensures that our Palermo Babas will gradually develop a rich, golden patina over time with wear.

Each pair of Palermo Babas is heat-embossed on the sole with the month and year of production, along with its unique number within the batch series, ensuring its exclusivity. Enjoy!

Sincerely,

The Sabah Dealer

The Palermo Baba.

From Almanza to El Paso.

Not your standard woven pattern, we worked with skilled artisans from a traditional shoemaking town in Spain to create the intricately woven uppers for our Palermo Baba.

We imported the woven Spanish leather to our El Paso workshop where our team worked carefully to turn them into 274 pairs of Babas. It was our first-time working with a woven leather making this a unique collaboration of craft between our shoemakers & the weavers in Spain.

The premier style of our Collector's Series -- the sole of every pair is heat embossed with the month & year of production along with its unique number within the larger batch series.

On Vacation in Stromboli 🇮🇹

Our Palermo Babas were packed for a recent trip to Stromboli, one of the seven Aeolian islands north of Sicily, and a place we felt our woven Babas would fit right in.

Our friends, Giada & Alida, shared some notes:

"Stromboli is a throwback to simpler times. It's an island in Sicily where cars don't exist, and the only way to get around is by Ape Cross or on foot. You're immediately transported to another era where encounters with fishermen returning from their daily fishing trips are common."

They continued, "Stromboli is where Fellini and Ingrid Bergman fell in love, likely during a nighttime walk when the scent of jasmine fills the air and the volcano erupts, serving as a reminder of life's transience."

"Many photos were taken in local people's homes, where we discovered that everyone leaves their doors unlocked and open, welcoming you inside, which is incredible."

"Lost in the cobblestone alleys, we strolled in our Palermo Babas -- discovering our favorite spots. Breakfast at Il Canneto is a must, with their ricotta croissants and handmade Sicilian granita. For lunch, we enjoyed Restaurant Terrazze di Eolo, and for dinner, Chef Gianluca's experiments with modern Sicilian cuisine at Punta Lena."
