In 1997, José Albaladejo created Carmina Shoemaker, in order to manufacture some of the best handmade shoes in the world. Since then, the company has opened eight stores and competes with the most distinguished English shoemakers. Carmina Shoemaker shoes for men and women are stitched using the Goodyear system, with the same techniques, consistency and perfection as their English equivalents. In the shop, one can also find accessories like belts and footwear care products.
