I baron I flutter: the origins

For those of us who like to go out at night and for whom partying should remain an expression of freedom, it was in 2013 in Hong Kong that the idea of this creative and clever sneaker came to us as a solution to the intense fatigue that seized us when we had to lace up and unlace our high top sneakers. It was always a pain to have to spend so much time untying our laces when it would have been much more pleasant to prepare another good cocktail.

We are the only ones to have thought

Our unique and iconic TM180 Velcro allows a 180° opening so your feet can slip inside the sneakers without unlacing. It's even easier to take them off. A real time and effort saver.

Singularity of the design

Sourced from an Italian tannery, its perforated leather inner lining offers a soft and supple feel, making this sneaker a true glove for the feet. This new construction also increases the feeling of comfort.

You'll notice the leather softening after several days of use, which is quite normal: it's a guarantee of quality, while allowing the leather skin to adapt to your morphology.

Classy and festive

Depending on where you are going and who you are meeting, it is essential to have high end shoes.

The designer sneaker can be paired with jeans or a dress and worn day and night, in all circumstances between business meetings and outings. The perfect compromise.

The butterfly

The silhouette of the insect, embodying freedom and movement, is at the heart of the brand. On this model, the logo has been embossed tone on tone by hot stamping. The 2 lines "Pal Vergette" and the crown are heraldic symbols.

The perforation

The sneaker is already breathable with its branded sole, so it will be even more so with its perforated leather.

The holes are small enough to prevent the shoe from getting wet. This process of manufacture by punching that we also find in our Barons Originales gives it a look as sporty as modern.

Well-made

The material is the basis of the craft work: without beautiful material, no beautiful product. This is why we leave nothing to chance: the quality of the leathers we use is a fair compromise between flexibility and rigidity.

We went back to the "sport" fit we had on our Originals in 2013, namely heel reinforcements and the vintage guards on the tongue.

Première de propreté — First of cleanliness

It is the product of our secret alchemy of calf leather and cork with sanitizing herb inserts.

In addition to smelling good, the latter improve foot hygiene by promoting aeration and absorbing moisture. In other words, perspiration is limited to a minimum and the sneakers can be worn barefoot without unpleasant odor.

This sole is also removable, allowing you to replace it if necessary.

Outsole

Paris, at Baron Papillon, is the Place de l'Étoile. We took back our unique design scrupulously retracing the square and the avenues that lead to it.

Concerning the composition, we had a demanding specification for our new Portuguese supplier:
- our sole is 75% recycled using rubber scraps,
- composed of 20% natural rubber
- and 5% synthetic rubber.

The high abrasion coefficient guarantees a high durability. Its 3 cm height protects the upper from friction. Not too imposing, not too thin, just in phase with the ground.

A reasoned production

Concerned about environmental issues, we have always wanted sneakers that are elegant and clever, but also part of a slow fashion movement.

We adhere to the principle of "zero destruction" of our unsold goods and continue to develop creative processes that favor the search for European materials that are truly environmentally friendly, while also associating ourselves with ecological collaborative projects.

Made in France

Upstream, we work on the elaboration of the first prototypes in Montjean-sur-Loire:
- Final drawing and choice of materials by our artistic director Eric Gallais
- First prototype by hand in the design office
- Validation

Then we move on to the production stage:
- Preparation of the different elements and materials: cutting of the leathers, preparation of the linings, stitching of the stems...
- Assembly of the uppers with the outer soles
- These are hot glued and then sewn
- Hand polishing (cleaning of glues, nails and all the small impurities which could have interfered during these operations)

Finally the final preparation:
- Laces
- Positioning of the inner sole with grass for a perfect fit
- Putting our sneakers in our upcycled boxes with a cardboard roll to prevent them from moving during shipping

A controlled upcycling

And to the end.

The vintage shoe boxes were recovered from an old French manufacture of the 80s on which we affixed our logo.
