Collection: Rubirosa

RUBIROSA was created in 2015 to combine Swiss design and Italian craftsmanship in the pursuit of the perfect sneaker. Porfirio "Rubi" Rubirosa, the model for Ian Fleming's James Bond character, inspired the quiet luxury aesthetic that the brand employs today. Beyond just being a carbon neutral company, Rubirosa's commitment to sustainability starts with premium, natural materials and sound construction to ensure longevity, the key to any earnest effort in this regard.

As a shoemaker myself, I can attest to the quality of the materials first hand. About 15 seconds into seeing the Rubirosa booth at a trade show, I felt the soft veg-tanned lining leather and immediately knew this was the sneaker brand for Old House Provisions. As much as I love to use welted footwear to dress up an outfit, sneakers have a place in every man's wardrobe, and thus, RUBIROSA, the epitome of elevated sneakers, has a place in every man's wardrobe.
