The story
Ballet flats and everyday styles in velvet, satin, and leather, including a collaboration with Maria de la Orden. Classic shapes, made the way Florence has made shoes for centuries.
Founder & origin
A Florentine label working with artisan workshops in the city.
Craft & materials
Handcrafted in Florence by local artisans using premium Italian leather and fabrics.
Conscious notes
Local artisan production in a single city — short supply chain, skilled labor, and shoes built to be resoled rather than replaced.
