CATEGORIES
Explore our curated shoe categories – from pumps and loafers to sandals and boots. All handmade in Italy.
FLATS & LOAFERS
Why?
Flat shoes and loafers suit both everyday use and more dressed occasions. They give stability and comfort while keeping a clean and simple look.
Definition and history
Loafers are slip-on shoes without laces, first developed in the early 20th century. Flats cover a wider range, from ballet-inspired shapes to pointed silhouettes. Both have become part of the modern wardrobe as practical but elegant shoes.
Ways to style
Work well with cropped trousers, wide denim or skirts. A pointed toe gives a slimmer impression, while rounder forms create a softer line. Suede adds warmth and texture, leather creates a sharper look. Neutral colours blend into an outfit, while bright tones or metallic leather highlight the shoe.
Our range of loafers
Handmade in Italy with focus on fit and flexible construction. Soft linings and sacchetto methods give comfort during long wear. Each style is selected for balance and proportion, covering both classic penny loafers and lighter feminine forms.
SNEAKERS
Always suitable?
Sneakers are used for daily wear, travel and casual dressing. They combine ease and comfort while still fitting into a modern wardrobe.
The story
Sneakers began as sports shoes in the late 19th century, with rubber soles and canvas uppers. Through the 20th century they moved into fashion and today are made in leather and suede as a staple shoe for men and women.
Styling your sneaks
Match with denim, chinos or tailored trousers for a relaxed but neat expression. With skirts or dresses they create contrast and ease. White leather is the most versatile, while darker tones and suede give depth. Minimal designs allow pairing with formal clothing without breaking the line.
Our range of sneakers
Crafted in Italy from leather and suede with strong stitched soles. The focus is on simplicity, clean shapes and long wear. Each model is selected for comfort and quiet style, fitting into both work and leisure wardrobes.
Ankle Boots
A wardrobe essential
Ankle boots carry you through autumn, winter and spring with ease. They frame the ankle, add balance to the silhouette and give height without covering the whole leg.
Background
The shorter boot appeared in the 19th century as a practical variation of lace-up boots. Over time it developed into today’s block-heeled, slim-heeled and Chelsea styles – each a staple in women’s wardrobes across seasons.
How to style
Pair with denim for everyday use, cropped trousers for a clear line, or midi skirts for a feminine shape. A block heel works well for long days, while a slender heel adds definition for evenings. Suede softens and warms, polished leather creates a sharper impression. Lighter tones highlight the shoe, darker shades blend into the outfit.
Our ankle boots
Handmade in Italy in calf leather and suede. Each pair is constructed with balanced heels, lined for comfort and finished with practical soles. Selected for proportions that flatter and remain relevant year after year.
Pumps
Why and when to wear
Used when a formal or elegant impression is needed. They give height, a steady posture and a clear frame to an outfit. Suitable for work settings, celebrations and evenings out.
Facts and origin
A low-cut women’s shoe with a heel, made without straps or laces. The form appeared in 17th-century courts and became a standard part of women’s wardrobes in the 20th century. Heel heights and shapes vary, but the definition remains.
How to style
Match with straight trousers or tailored skirts for a balanced office look. With cropped denim, they give a simple but dressed appearance. A neutral tone blends with the leg line, while metallic, suede or bright colours mark out special occasions. Consider heel height: lower heels for long days, higher for evening wear.
Our pumps
Selected styles handmade in Italy from leather and suede. Construction, lining and fit are chosen for comfort and long wear. The range covers everyday use as well as formal occasions, with the same focus on quality.
Boots
Use
Boots suit colder seasons and give protection, stability and presence. They can be practical for walking or designed for a more dressed impression.
Historical context
Boots have existed for centuries, often as working or military footwear. In the 20th century they moved into everyday wardrobes with designs in leather and suede, ranging from lace-up styles to minimal pull-ons.
Style guide
Combine with denim, long skirts or dresses. Lace-up boots give a casual and sturdy look, while slim pull-on boots appear cleaner. A boot in black leather works for many settings, while brown or lighter shades soften the impression.
Our selection
Produced in Italy with focus on durability and balance. Leather soles often reinforced with rubber for grip. Selected styles mix classic tradition with modern proportions, always with comfort in mind.
HIGH BOOTS
Occasions
High boots are chosen in autumn and winter for warmth and coverage. They give length to the leg and create a strong silhouette.
Story
Knee-high and over-the-knee boots have been worn since the 17th century, first by men in riding and military use. In the 20th century they became an important part of women’s wardrobes, especially in the 1960s.
Styling tips
Match with skirts and dresses to show the full shaft, or wear under wide trousers for a long line. Suede creates a soft look, polished leather a sharper frame. Dark boots blend into tights, lighter tones set focus on the shoe itself. Heel choice adjusts the level of formality.

Espadrilles
Season and setting
Espadrilles are worn in spring and summer for lightness and comfort. They give a relaxed character and fit warm climates.
Background
The style originates from Spain, with history going back hundreds of years. Traditional espadrilles use jute rope soles combined with canvas or leather uppers.
How to style
Match with summer dresses, linen trousers or shorts. Wedges suit evening gatherings, flat models work for daytime. Natural jute tones are neutral, while coloured suede and metallic finishes set a festive tone.

sandals
When to use
Sandals are worn in summer and warm climates. They allow airflow and give a light step while still supporting the foot.
Origin
Sandals are one of the oldest shoe forms, known since ancient Egypt and Greece. Designs vary from flat belted shapes to heeled versions.
Style your sandals
Work with skirts, dresses or cropped trousers. Flat leather sandals suit daytime wear, while heeled models fit evening occasions. Neutral tones match many outfits, metallic or bright colours add focus. Slim straps look delicate, wider straps create presence.
Our sandals

WARM LINED
Use
Warm lined shoes are suited for winter and cold climates. They give insulation, grip and comfort in low temperatures.
Facts
Lined footwear has been used for centuries in northern Europe. Traditionally made with fur or wool inside leather shells, today modern materials combine warmth with lighter weight.
Styling advice
Best with winter trousers, wool coats and layered clothing. Dark leather keeps a clean impression, while lighter suede softens the look. A lined boot works both in city settings and outdoor activities.
Our styles
Made in Italy with shearling, wool or padded linings inside leather uppers. Soles designed for grip on wet or icy ground. Selected to combine warmth, comfort and the same level of craftsmanship as all other collections.
