Luscious python skin is the mainstay of the upcoming Invitto collection which blends artisan woodwork with exotic leathers to create an array of transitional styles.

Owner and designer Marco Aurélio Kehl has been in the shoe business for 35 years. He started off in production, learning to build shoes, and then moved into sales for both exports and in his domestic Brazilian market. "Being part of the sales department I immediately suggested new products, new ideas," said Kehl, "They became best sellers. After three years of moving through product research, development and sales, I decided that I wanted to be a shoe designer."

Invitto's designs are produced by 20 artisans using Brazilian leather. For this collection they experimented with textiles to create stretch technology which is being used in an array of boots.
Here's a look at their standou stylest:
Stretch leg python boots fit like second skin
Flat transitional boots with stretch technology
Two-tone boot creates pump-like appearance
Not every Invitto design uses python. The styles below incorporate textured leathers and calf hair along with stud and zipper details.
