Our manufacture
The maker
I am Romulus Tibor Kozma, as the third generation of my family, I have been
passionately making hand-sewn shoes for more than twenty years.
I learned the tricks of my trade and the traditional recipes under the wings of my father and
grandfather.
Made-to-measure, hand-stitched leather shoes offer you self-confidence and attitude. Providing an experience of uniqueness, it is an essential part for your outfit.
In our salon, I look forward to personally helping you find the hand-sewn shoes that best suit your style, occasion and abilities.
Quality Guidelines
"Master craftsmanship can only be shown in combination with the best quality materials, and only the best quality materials are worthy of being handled with a high quality of professional knowledge."
When making our shoes, we never compromise on their quality. While the appearance of the upper part conveys a message about You, but it also protects it from external influences. We believe that only the finest leathers can serve the best. As the lining is in constant contact with the foot, so it is essential that it is made exclusively with plant tanning. It is therefore healthier for You - but also for our natural environment, unlike chemical or chrome tanned lining leathers.
That is why we do not give in to fashionable trends or economic considerations that go against durability and naturalness. That is why our shoes do not contain plastic or paper parts even in parts that are hidden from view - the only exception to this is the wear-resistant rubber insole used on the sole, which can be requested upon request. And what we are most proud of is the ratio of using traditional manual technologies, which ensure a durable and time-proof sole construction, compared to fast, mechanical solutions. In our small manufactory, sole sewing is not done by machine, not even a skilled, talented collegaue. Every single Kozma shoe, every centimeter of it, is sewn by the master, Romulus, with his own hands, which can require up to 8-12 working hours depending on the types of sewing.
For this reason, a limited amount of shoes are made in our workshop - a maximum of 6-8 pairs per month. This is how the signature of Tibor Romulus Kozma in our logo that decorates our shoes makes sense. This is how we hand over our shoes to You with a calm heart, knowing that they will serve your comfort for 10 years as a stylish staple of your wardrobe.
We offer a 10-year warranty on all Kozma shoes - their construction, i.e. the seams. Of course, the warranty does not cover wear damages. For every pair of Kozma shoes, we provide instructions for use and care, as well as special care tools and materials, thus helping You to take care of the long life of Your shoe professionally. We are also available to repair wear and tear resulting from use. In fact, we are particularly happy if we are asked to repair so that your footwear will definitely receive the appropriate treatment.
Our history
Our company was founded in 2000 and has been operating as a family business ever since. I spent time with my paternal grandfather and father in workshops smelling of leather and cloves, I got familiar with the most feared techniques of shoemaking. My legacy from them is the joy of creation, which has been my main driving force since the beginning. In our workshop, tradition meets the desire for innovation. This is how our premium-quality, unique footwear is born, so that they serve your comfort in style for more than a decade.
