“The manufacturing factories of Novesta date back to the 1930s, when the famous shoemaker Jan Antonín Baťa opened his new factory in a small town in the middle of Slovakia – in Partizánske. Novesta is one of the last purely European brands to remain operating in its original premises, working by the original method on good old-fashioned machines that require a great deal of precision handwork.”
