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.
