Craftsmanship excellence since three generations, a family craft
For three generations, we have been carrying on the shoemaking heritage of Marche region, combining time-honoured expertise with a spirit of continuous innovation, always in step with contemporary needs.
We specialise in contract manufacturing of men’s and women’s footwear for one of the leading international fashion and luxury Brands, offering a comprehensive, reliable and highly specialised service.

From lasting or assembly phase onwards, each shoe is crafted in-house with the utmost care, going through every stage of the production process: lasting or assembly in all phases, sole stitching, finishing, cleaning and packaging, right up to the final quality control.
