There is a local brand called Bojos, has very high quality leather goods such as shoes and belts, so far the only store I've found them is in Anthony's but I plan on making a visit to their factory since it is local in Santiago. I've had this pair of leather shoes for 2 years now and was reluctant to recommend them till having them pass the test of time.. and boy have they. Seem as new as the day I bought them, highly recommend , and I'm so happy to find high quality stuff coming right out of the DR!
They supply leather to the following companies in case you were curious on their track record :
Sperry Top - Sider ? USA
Wolverine World Wilde ? USA
Timberland ? USA
Minnetonka ? USA
Rocky, Shoes and Boots ? USA
San Antonio Shoes (SAS) ? USA
GIRZA ? Italy
Calzaturificio Maritan SPA ? Italy
Zeis, Excelsa - Italy
Now if they would make more dress style shoes and wallets I would be in heaven. I own 3 pairs of ferragamo shoes and 2 pairs of allen edmonds and I can say without a doubt bojos leather is as high quality if not better. Oh, and the 3 pairs of sperry type boat shoes I bought cost me like 40$ each, the belt was 25$ or so.. such a win for Santiago!
