Yute - Identidad
The base of our brand and our products manufacturing is the jute, a natural fiber which drinks from a centennial tradition which was born in the northwest of Murcia region, birthplace and main site of our brand.
The soles of our espadrilles, wedges ans sneakers are manufactured in a traditional and handcrafted way, using first quality jute in the soles and floors.
With the jute's fiber we elaborate spools of thread and in some cases we dye them to get some colorful soles.Afterwards, braids are elaborated by specialized machines especializadas. Later, braids are manufactured manually in a rotary table to get the shape of the sole. This sole is sewn crosswise to give it consistency and finally a layer of natural rubber is added at the base using the vulcanization technique. This proccess also takes part in our zone, keeping the local essence of our brand, guaranteeing the highest quality.
Caravaca de la Cruz is the house and reference of the jute production in Spain, where since some generations ago, it is known they work this material in a handcrafted way totally. It is known as the golden fiber, jute is a 100% natural, biodegradable and recyclable material. The way to obtain it is totally respectful with the enviroment.
Handcrafted with
buttonhole - Crafts
The current process of making espadrille preserves many similarities with that of centuries ago. The touch of hand-sewn using the technique known as buttonhole stitch is the differential and most easily identifiable point in our summer collections. The buttonhole stitch, made by artisans from the northwest area of Murcia, consists mainly of the union of the different cuts of natural leather to the sole made of jute. Each and every one of our products in which this stitching can be observed, have been made manually by our artisans.
Natual skin - Quality
Being aware of the value of our raw material, we work with the best suppliers, who treat the skins with the greatest respect for the environment, not only through the mechanisms used in the tanning and manufacturing process, but also in the dyes and products used for applied treatments. Only in this way can we guarantee the quality of our skin and our commitment to our environment.
Kanna is a brand with a clear vocation of respect for the environment, that is why we only use natural materials in our collections.
Jute fiber, cotton canvas, linen, silk or raffia (among others) are some of the most used materials in our products. Not forgetting the highest quality leathers, which we also use in our models.
In each season a selection of fashionable materials is made, always taking into account market trends. Once they have been cut and trimmed (the sewing process of the different leather cuts), we embody Kanna's personality in our products.
