After thousands of pairs handcrafted by the most talented and admirable hands we were blessed to have as Santé artisans, especially those of Mr. Elilin Hernández, today we have made the decision to close and put to rest a dream that gave us valuable experiences for more than 10 years. This has been a difficult, but necessary decision. A conscious closure intended to allow the brand to evolve as it has always aspired to: with the capacity to produce using materials, processes, and tools that reflect the true value of artisanal work and meet the expectations of our customers. We trust that this is not a goodbye, but a see-you-soon. A time of pause until we find the production structure that will allow us to take Santé to the world, just as it was envisioned and dreamed from the beginning. We sincerely thank everyone who wore Santé with pride, love, and style, knowing they were carrying a story that reflects more than five hundred years of our country’s heritage, and understanding the economic impact their choice generated in the local economy, especially for artisanal labor. We leave the window open. We will continue searching for those who wish to open the door and carry forward the legacy of formalising an industry with the potential to stimulate a new economy, just as the leather, leather goods, and footwear industries have achieved in neighbouring countries in the region. Thank you.Nay
