The manufacturing factories of Novesta date back to the 1930s, when the famous shoemaker Jan Antonín Baťa opened his new factory in the small town of Partizánske in the middle of Slovakia. 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. Novesta products were and are designed to last as long as possible. Their traditional production method requires high quality materials, which, combined with minimalist and timeless design, transcends fashion trends and allows for enduring use.
