Design Department
Moreschi shoes are projected and designed within the company. A refined CAD software for the design phase is the only computerized element in the production process.

Leather Warehouse
The well-stocked leather warehouses are the basis of the company's activity. In one warehouse the sole leather is stored in a quantity which meets six months' production;keeping the leather in stock for a long time also favors the seasoning process, thanks to which leather improves and enhances wearability.
The leather warehouse is the key-element of the factory, where many kinds of leathers and skins for the uppers are stored. A steady demand of many different models in various markets requires the immediate availability of the materials needed to meet all kinds of requests. The top-quality skins stored in the warehouse cover up to one year's production.

Cutting Department
The leather is cut by expert workers. Metal dies are used in about 80% of cutting operations; however, some particular models are still hand-cut.
One third of the leather used does not comply with the high quality standards and is therefore discarded. One pair of uppers is made up of a minimum of 8 to a maximum of 24 pieces of leather, cut according to precise color, quality and dimension criteria. All pieces are subsequently levelled and skived.

Sewing Department
Sewing is the most complex operation in the production of shoes. About 50% of the process in a shoe factory is employed in the sewing department. These operations require professional qualification and experience. Several years of apprenticeship are needed to achieve a high degree of proficiency. This is achieved through training courses within the company.

Hand Sewing
The production of moccasins still requires the hand-lasting of uppers and the hand-sewing of aprons by highly specialized workers, according to the same procedures of 50 years ago.

Lasting & Sole Application
Lasting is the process through which the upper is stretched on the last, which gives the shoe its final shape. Thus the upper part of the shoe is complete in its essential components, although more operations (application of welts, soles, insoles, as well as further stitchings, millings and dyeings) are still needed to achieve the final product.

Finishing
The higher the quality degree, the higher the number of operations and controls. All finishing operations at Moreschi are carried out in a special department; cleaning, polishing, brushing, branding of soles, application of the sock-lining with the characteristic black and white label precede the strict quality control at the very end.

Finished Product
The result of a rigorous production process that marries old world techniques and handcrafting with modern technology, is a product that is impeccable in its quality and beautiful in its appearance.
