Introducing Saragozza
Designed in collaboration with Left Hand, Saragozza is a distinctive three-eyelet, moccasin-inspired shoe defined by its soft, full-collar fringe and relaxed, low-profile shape.
Handcrafted in Portugal from premium Sciarada Castoro reverse cow suede, each pair has its own rich character. Traditional hand-stitched detailing and a natural crepe sole create a shoe that is soft, flexible and unmistakably Meanforme.
The Saragozza Story
Saragozza is a district in Bologna, the city which is the birthplace of Massimo Osti and where the foundations of Left Hand were established. The name reflects the connection between place, history and a common approach to design.
The idea was inspired by a jacket from the Left Hand archive collection which was made using Osti's innovative Micro fabric, the particular raw-edge fringe of which served as a starting point for Saragozza, who gave it a premium Italian suede treatment to produce the shoe's characteristic full fringed collar.
Sacchetto – Bologna Construction
At the heart of Saragozza is Sacchetto — Italian for “Little Bag” — a traditional shoemaking technique renowned for its softness and flexibility. Instead of a rigid insole board, the suede upper is carefully stitched to a soft leather lining beneath the foot, creating a lightweight, almost glove-like construction.
The result is a shoe that feels beautifully soft from the first wear, flexing naturally with the foot for exceptional comfort.
Naturally Comfortable
Saragozza sits on our signature natural crepe rubber sole, providing softness and cushioning underfoot while retaining the shoe's natural flexibility.
Lightweight and comfortable, the crepe works with a removable cushioned footbed to provide an easy, relaxed feel for everyday wear.
The Kit
Every pair of Saragozza comes with two sets of laces and a partitioned cotton Meanforme drawstring bag for storage and travel and a removable Left Hand branded floret.
Its all about The hands
Each Saragozza undergoes the care of 63 experienced hands during its journey through our factory, from the initial cut to the final packing.
At each stage the raw materials are cut, shaped, stitched and finished with care, thus gradually being turned into something deserving of the Meanforme × Left Hand name.
Bringing It All Together
Premium Italian suede, leather footbeds, threads, laces and natural crepe. Every component individually cut, prepared and brought together by skilled hands.
Born from a shared approach to design and a desire to do things differently, Saragozza brings Meanforme and Left Hand together in a shoe with a character entirely of its own.
