SHIPPING & RETURNS
CARE GUIDE
- Use shoe trees after each wear to help your shoes maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
- Gently brush off dust and surface dirt after every use. Avoid wearing the same pair two days in a row to allow the leather to breathe and recover.
- Regularly polish your shoes to preserve softness and luster. We recommend using Saphir Crème Pommadier. Apply with an applicator brush or a soft cloth, and buff to a shine using a horsehair brush.

Designed with durability and timeless elegance in mind, they’re built to last — season after season. We take pride in offering exceptional quality at a fair price, making refined Italian craftsmanship more accessible than ever.

“Where Shoemaking Is a Legacy"
Our shoes are made in the Campania region of southern Italy, where generations of shoemakers have mastered the balance of structure and softness. Crafted near Naples in the town of S.

Each pair reflects the precision and pride of this time-honored region — where shoemaking isn’t just a skill, it’s a legacy.
