Curated Curiosity.
Made to be kept. Every pair is catalogued, and the Atelier remembers.
Odessa.
The Odessa sneaker is completely handmade in Portugal with the utmost care and craftsmanship. Twelve pairs of skilful hands work two hours on a single pair, spread across several stages of the production process. A 100% EU product, from materials to packaging. Goodyear-welted with a Vibram outsole, a construction chosen for durability and for the ability to be resoled, not replaced.

Our story, our makers, our materials.
Cárte Crème is a slow fashion house for shoes made by hand in Portugal and released in numbered editions.
We embrace slowness, serenity, and even idleness: not as indulgences, but as therapeutic necessities. This shift toward conscious hedonism, where joy and purpose meet through mindful consumption, inspires everything we create.

Stories from the Atelier.
The Odessa
Every house has a first object. Ours is a shoe.
The Odessa is a Goodyear-welted sneaker built the way footwear used to be built: to be taken apart, repaired, and resoled, so it evolves with the wearer instead of being thrown away. Underneath its calm, classic silhouette sits a layer of cork between the insole and the welt, which gives way as you wear the shoe and takes the shape of your foot.
