We extend our warm thanks to Le Petit Journal for their spotlight on the Haiku sneaker, born from our collaboration with the Japanese heritage house Kyoya.
“The Haiku is a unique sneaker. A blend of printed cotton and hand-patinated leather, it borrows the sleek lines of a running shoe. With vegetable-tanned leather and traditional Japanese indigo-dyed fabric, every detail reflects the precision of this remarkable collaboration with Kyoya, masters of artisanal dyeing.”
This pair is the result of a shared passion for craftsmanship and quiet elegance. The Haiku brings together Caulaincourt’s signature patina with Kyoya’s centuries-old mastery of Aizome , the ancestral indigo dyeing technique, where fabric evolves and deepens over time, much like our leathers.
Though inspired by running silhouettes, Haiku is a true city shoe — elegant, versatile, and tailored for movement. It slips easily into a refined casual wardrobe, where detail and ease go hand in hand.
