In opting in for this, the buyers can personalize the shade of the handcrafted leather sandals to better "match [their] individual style and personality." This feature is made available due to the amazing adaptability to [Venezia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nocta-x-venezia-fc-1) leather. Developed by Olga Berluti, the natural and mineral tanning of the leather is the technique which allows it to reach "colors of unusual depth."
