The Atelier
The house takes its name from an old word. In Greek, basileus meant sovereign. It was the title the emperors of Constantinople took for themselves.
Before the throne, there are hands.
Each pair is cut, stitched and finished by craftspeople in Spain. Leather is painted and burnished by hand, in thin coats, until the colour belongs to the skin and to no other pair.
We do not hurry what is meant to endure.
Nothing here is stocked. Your order is the instruction to begin, and about four weeks later, it is finished. That is the wait. It is also the point.
