1725.a
Every journey begins with a first step, and I took mine in February 2010 by taking over the shoe brand ’Le stelle calzature’.
After the first collections in continuity with the elegant and feminine models of ’Le stelle’, customization began.
I wanted my line that expressed more than a shoe, that represented a journey of emotions to wear.
Starting in 2013, the change arrived that led me towards research into materials in order to guarantee maximum comfort on every occasion, to give women’s feet elegance and style without losing comfort and relaxation.
In 2016, 1725.a was born, my line for an active woman who does not want to give in to compromises, where research and style mix with emotions and feelings.
In 2018 I launched Estelle a collection of elegance with the comfort and research of 1725.a
Where materials are able to give emotions just by touch.
Where a shoe is the thought of an event, or a journey that begins by wearing it for the first time, smelling the real leather handcrafted in Italy.
1725.a and Estelle: one shoe at a time without compromises! All woman products by

CAMPOMAGGI
PHILOSOPHY
THE NOISE OF NEED.
Campomaggi is the scent of leather, absolute protagonist of each collection, it is the ability of working hands, it is the old and noble art of craftsmanship.
Driven by the idea of creating bags and accessories that mirror his philosophy, Marco Campomaggi thinks, dreams and designs collections which combine the ancient art of treating leather with creativity, precision and painstaking care in craftsmanship.
Each Campomaggi bag tells a story.Accuracy, care, attention and dedication are fundamental ingredients when creating the first prototype of each new model: a very delicate phase, the first step in transforming an idea into something tangible.
INGREDIENTS
The human ingredient is undoubtedly the soul of the Campomaggi brand.
From the stitching to the finishing process, hands transfer on each bag the passion and emotions of those who touch, work and create them, leaving a sign and defining their history and final aspect.
Campomaggi bags are created through a very thorough process: each piece is dyed in barrels containing specially chosen vegetable dyes.
The vintage look of each bag is the result of the so-called ’piece-dying’ technique and of an extensive research, where nothing is left to chance. All woman products by

CATARINA MARTINS
CATARINA MARTINS – HISTORY OF THE BRAND
The story of the brand goes back to 1993 with the foundation of the mother company, “Always Shoes” that Paulo Martins has opened in Portugal to give creative and production support to famous international fashion companies in the shoemaking business.
Ten years later Paulo Martins with a profound know-how and experience decides to create a handcrafted and creative brand as a result of the growing demand of a brand with a strong personality and its own identity. So on the 17th September 2003 was born the brand “Catarina Martins”: a name chosen because it belonged to well-known personalities throughout history, but above all, Catarina has a great personal significance because it is the same name Paulo Martins gave his daughter.
With a small team, young and dynamic, with a dedication and loyalty, and alongside the partners and representatives, who Paulo Martins likes to call “Friends”, the brand has grown with a surprising speed. The company that initially started with only two people today has turned into a group of 14 professionals with a turnover of 15 million euros.
The product “Catarina Martins” is distributed in the mid- high range of shops in France, Benelux, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Eastern Europe, Greece, Japan and Portugal. Nowadays its major market is Italy, where demand, quality and design are prevailing factors to stand out from other shoe brands.
The company is a regular participant at the main international fairs and venues, such as the GDS in Düsseldorf, the MICAM in Milan, the CPM in Moscow, the Première Classe in Paris or the PREMIUM in Berlin.
This collection that is made for a woman with a jovial spirit, dynamic, that appreciates quality, fashion and comfort is conceived with selected raw materials and handcrafted with utmost dedication and care. That is why every item is unique and bears the label “SHOES MADE IN REGION OF OPORTO (PORTUGAL)”. This is a tribute to the region and the people who produce these shoes.
Catarina Martins is above all a united team with an unusual collaborative spirit that personifies the brand’s philosophy/slogan “Life is too short to take a nap”.

ESPADRILLES
About Us
Espadrilles or Espartena date back to a very distant past: some say they were already popular in the ancient Greece and Rome.
What we know for sure is where they were born: the Pyrenees, at the border of France and Spain.
There, more than 40 years ago, the Espadrilles adventure began.
Concept
Quintessentially, naturally original, Espadrilles are a wise mix of creativeness, design and eco-friendly values. Made using the traditionally spun yarn cotton stripes and sewn by hand onto the Cordura sole, today as in the past, Espadrilles are manufactured with a century-old technique, used to make even the most contemporary models. A timeless style icon, Espadrilles are strictly hand-made only, as the ideal marriage of the most traditional methods and the most innovative, sophisticated design.
The evergreen
Espadrilles now are iconic, legendary and timeless shoes. Worn by famous politicians such as Juan Domingo Peron or simply by european immigrants of South America, they have been the protagonists of dramatical historical changes. Now considered a cult object, their style is never out of date.
The original
Thanks to Ferrari & Zenobi, in the first half of the eighties, Espadrilles became a true icon, worn by the most important people in the world and reinterpreted by the most fashionable international designers. Today, Espadrilles is the one and only brand able to link its own image to such a timeless symbol of the european culture. All woman products by

FABI
A company at the forefront
Back in 1965, in Montegranaro, in the heart of Marche’s shoemaking district, the Fabi family founded a new business based on an ethic of fine artisan crafting. The skilled hands of the brothers Elisio and Enrico, along with their wives Gina and Vilia, shaped their first men’s shoes whose classical, elegant style and superior quality materials immediately became the hallmarks of the Fabi brand.
In a few short years, Fabi’s business took off. In 1972, not long after its founding, Fabi moved to a1200-sq. m. facility in Monte San Giusto, as it had already needed more room to fit its growing production.
A decisive factor of Fabi’s success has been its remarkable ability to reconcile tradition and innovation.
In the 1980s, on the solid foundations of its already well-established success, Fabi expanded its horizons to find emerging markets, inspired by its desire to set its sights ever higher.
The Fabi Donna collection was created in 1993 and 1994 with a style of sophisticated, metropolitan glamour. Fabi had thoroughly established its reputation as a dynamic brand. Now, for almost a half century, Fabi has been putting its name to high class footwear for men and women. It has become an ultra-modern business with the eventual involvement of the family’s youngest generation, which has infused Fabi with a new design spirit to complement its long-established crafting tradition.
Fabi has become a perfect beacon of Italian-made design as a distinctive business, a promoter of elegant style, an astute observer of trends, always anticipating new ways of life. It then employs its enormous skill, absolute precision and meticulous crafting to best express these new lifestyles.
Tradition and technology make a perfect union with quality. Three hundred forty-four employees, including master shoemakers and artisans, work closely with specialists in IT technology and state-of-the-art machinery. Their close collaboration produces innovative, quality products, with great care taken both in the details and in the choice of materials, always following the most stringent criteria.
Fabi’s current headquarters, in Monte San Giusto, opened in December 2004 and covers over 15,000 covered sq.m. It’s an attractive, dynamic modern work place, with ample space and lovely indoor green areas, making it a great place to work together!

FLOGG
FLOGG
FLIP FLOP + CLOG = FLOGG
The New California Dream
In the 1970s the womens liberation movement was born. The quest for equality in society made women also yearn for freedom of expression in their clothing. The Europeans influenced American fashion with sexualized glamour, style icons Jane Birkin, Bianca Jagger, Brigit Bardot & Farrah Fawcett made miniskirts and platforms popular silhouettes that keep re-appearing on today modern catwalks.
Now with FLOGG, disco dancing can be so much more fun as retro classic shapes are made more comfortable with the flip flop EVA component, facilitating womens agile an upwardly mobile status.
FLOGG is a revolutionary new category of footwear -inspired by the laid back California lifestyle and invented for all women who want to feel good and look fantastic without sacrificing design.
Carol de Leon, The Soul Behind The Brand
After years of designing for fashion and comfort brands alike, veteran shoe designer Carol de Leon took a moment to deeply think about what was truly needed in the market. Having the ability to design any imaginable shoe possible, her immediate need for a shoe that offered height with a cool comfort factor led to the invention of the latest shoe sensation, FLOGG. In flight, on a cocktail napkin, at the tail end of a research and design trip from Milan, she sketched what she imagined to be a hip shoe that she could dance in all night. With a chunky wood base construction, topped with a layer of EVA, the material your most comfortable flip flops are made of...and voila! A fantastic hybrid of two iconic types of footwear, a flip flop and a clog was born...FLOGG.
The first FLOGG collection has been developed with great secrecy. De Leon wanted to maintain the project under wraps because of its novelty and entrusted the endeavor only to shoe technicians with whom she had long lasting relationships. Most of the prototypes were kept out of factories and made by hand on the kitchen table. Meanwhile, a California dreaming lifestyle concept evolved around the casual chic designs and without doing any formal trade shows or presentations, the first collection was shown to top buyers by invitation only in October . With most budgets already spent for the Spring 2013 season, buyers scurried to find the dollars to add FLOGG to their selections because they immediately recognized that this new shoe line had great potential to be the next hot iconic brand likened to Uggs and Crocs. The first delivery of FLOGG will be this Spring in stores like Nordstrom, Belk, Shop Bop and many independents nationwide. International distributors are already lined up to view the new Fall 2013/14 line at the Micam shoe show in Milan this March.
The positive response from the retailers has been so incredible, De Leon is still in disbelief. ’ I honestly designed this for myself, and I had no idea that the positive response would be so widespread and well received. I’m extremely happy to be able to share this new shoe concept with all the women out there with the same need. I’m also extremely thrilled to be part of something exciting and new in the market. Many times in the design process you strive to create something so new and different, never been done before, it leaves you uncertain about the marketability and whether the new design would be sellable and relevant to the needs of the market. For years I have traveled the world on research and development trips, only to find that if I start from within, I can determine what is absolutely essential’.
The mother of invention is need so they say. FLOGG is the new hot item that satisfies your fashion whims at the same time that it addresses the most absolute need to feel confident, comfortable and carefree. Life is too short to look good and feel bad. Now vanity has never felt so good! All woman products by

FABIO RUSCONI
INSIDE AN IDEA
The Fabio Rusconi brand was created in 1998 on a return flight from Japan, a destination dear to the brand’s CEO.
Since the beginning, the creative direction has been built upon a prototype of minimal sophistication. The design is high but not elitist, superb but never snobbish, cosmopolitan but with its heels rooted in its hometown of Florence, Italy.
The most complex task is to adapt to the cultures and needs of all Fabio Rusconi customers around the world; to communicate the company’s philosophy, namely that the customer is and remains the center of the brand’s universe, which is made from leather but above all, emotion.
WHY RUSCONI
Twenty years have passed, and the results show that this choice has proven to be the right one, as long as no one lets their guard down, not even for a moment. Starting with Fabio himself.
Those who work at Fabio Rusconi have worn out their soles with travels, experiences and heightened attention to fashion trends and those who follow them.
Our shoes take us around the world, toward loved ones, toward a dream. Let’s choose them carefully. All woman products by

FRYE - since 1863
FRYE Benchcrafted since 1863
On March 10th, 1863, John A. Frye opened the doors of a small shop on Elm Street in Marlboro, Massachusetts. The shoes he made werent icons of fashion or fanciful in style. They served a simple purpose: to ease the daily working lives of the hundreds of factory workers in that small New England town.
The individuals who wore the first Frye shoes were just like us: people who valiantly labored, honing skill and craft, supporting their families and community. When homesteading sparked adventurous New England families to head west in the mid and late 1800s, many of those pioneers wore Frye boots along the journey.
In time, John Fryes family would grow and, along with it, The Frye Company would expand. Each generation of Frye men dedicated themselves to the art and craft of shoemaking, creating new patterns, discovering new materials, and even inventing shoe-making machinery. Their fervor for the process of crafting footwear as durable as it is beautiful has been our companys benchmark, ever since. And this dedication has helped us craft footwear with a long and illustrious history.
Fryes Harness boot is rooted in this tradition and continues to draw inspiration from the American Cavalry. During a 1938 trip to Washington, D.C., John A. Fryes grandson and namesake met a U.S. Navy Admiral who noted his difficulty in finding the Wellington styles he liked so much. As a favor, John agreed to make him a pair. Frye continued to fill these requests for boots through World War II.
By mail order, the company supplied thousands of brave soldiers and pilots with Frye Wellingtons, known as Jet boots. Our boots traveled the world on the feet of American servicemen, from Normandy to Okinawa even General Patton wore a pair.
Today our classic Harness boot holds a treasured place in American culture, has been featured in international fashion spreads and enjoys strong sales all over the world. Our line still includes many styles based closely on their 1860 originals.
The CAMPUS boot featured a bulky toe and chunky heel that came to epitomize the attitude and styles of the 1960s and 1970s. The Smithsonian Institute, in its search for items to best represent America during the Sixties, chose a pair of CAMPUS boots that proudly remain on display today in our nations capital.
This is our history and our heritage, told in every stitch of every shoe weve made for nearly 150 years: across cultural shifts and changes in fashion, for generation upon generation. Now, Frye boots are accessorized and envied on city streets, worked and roughed up on country roads, and chosen above all others for their inimitable style and uncompromising quality.
And yet, despite our reach and success as a boot maker, our mission to make the best-looking, hardest-working, longest-lasting shoes and leather goods hasnt changed since our days on Elm Street.

GAIA D’ESTE
Once it was Effemme. The Family Petrini’s business that took its first steps in 1988, in the very heart of the footwear district of Le Marche. An industrious workshop at home, that for over a decade, collaborated with the major Italian and International griffes, so joining its activity to the most prestigious names in the Footwear and Fashion world. A crucial and valuable wealth of experience which represented the starting point for the creation, in 1997, of the brand Gaia D’Este. A name recalling those atmospheres of the past. History, nobility, power. La grandeur. A beautiful lady, carrying a jocose name and luxurious and graceful toilettes. A product breathing thanks to the deep dedication to work and the passion for “the shoe” and Fashion, the devotion to the craft past, retraced keeping up the pace of state-of-the-art technology. Gaia D’Este shoes are conceived for a young woman, following her fashion instinct, true to her innate fine taste, but who also loves indulging in something extravagant. A contemporary woman captured by all that is irresistibly beautiful. Shoe’s lines and shapes harmoniously follow the foot ones, the smooth womanly curves. The typical seduction shades give space to the new intuitions of color fancy. Paramount is heel, whatever height or shape, it gives the lady that lithe and sensual gait, seducing and winning any curious and amazed gaze. A shoe holding that unmistakable Italian taste, but also able to read further languages and cross the borders. That’s why today Gaia D’Este is able to reach any spot of the world, embellishing the most exclusive shop windows: from Italy to Europe to the ex URSS, up to Asia and the States.

WE NEED STYLE
Ishikawa is shaped and formed by the energy characterizing the target whom its destined to, a mix of different worlds, of different styles from diverse countries, a perfect mlange of East and West, a tour of the world offering a spicy lifestyle. The idea on which the idea of the Ishikawa lifestyle was based is perfectly symbolized by the logo, a sort of scratch in which the double I is represented by a nail with which the inventor of the brand, Angelo Lupis, has imagined to draw the logo: a non fading, firm, clean groove just as the Ishikawa style. The brand marks an intriguing collection of unisex sneakers and a line of t-shirts and it is already about to launch, during the 2012 Spring/Summer season, a sneakers line destined to kids, unisex and kids sweatshirts, jersey dresses and a glamorous collection of bags: all unmistakably characterized by the scratch Ishikawa counts over 150 authorized resellers on the national territory and makes out of quality its principal value, starting from the choice of materials to end to the care for details during production The techno-chic style revisited in a futuristic key and a vintage mood are at the base of the Ishikawa line, a trend that becomes must, an answer for who transforms style into life.

LAIDBACK LONDON
laidback london is an ethical shoe label that was set up in 2002. The brand is about the product and the people that make it. We are committed to working out of Africa where we are making a positive social and economic impact on the local communities that we work with.
Our signature sandal line is hand crafted using traditional techniques. Where possible, raw materials are sourced locally. The leathers come from a small tannery they are dyed by hand and then left out in the sun to dry naturally. The rubber outsoles are sourced from a local factory and these are prepared and cut by hand. The uppers are embellished with beads by hand every fifth bead is sewn directly onto the leather. On average, one person can embellish four pairs of uppers in one day. These labour intensive processes provide much needed jobs and give the sandals an authentic, handmade feel.
The line has been influenced by various African cultures, tribes and artisanal workmanship. Over the years we have been able to provide training, support as well as crucially, a constant flow of work that provides a sustainable income, which in turn has a significant impact on the local communities as well as on the next generation.
Every shoe has a story. Your story starts here.
STORY
Since 2002.
laidback london was born out of a desire to go back to basics. To make products the old fashioned way - by hand, using traditional techniques. To work with the imperfections to create naturally unique and individual products. Timeless pieces that are made to last, that wear better with age.
Walk, don’t run.
Having moved to London in 1997, the label’s founder wanted to bring back a part of the laid-back lifestyle he had experienced growing up on the coastal town of Mombasa to the big city. The first pair of laidback london sandals were sold from a market stall on Portobello Road in the summer of 2002.
Giving back. Making a difference.
We have established an infrastructure that creates jobs, provides sustainable incomes for the workers and preserves their skills and artistry. The work we do has a positive social and economic impact- empowering local communities, giving hope and providing opportunities through education for future generations.
Made by hand.
Keeping the processes hand made allows us to build the work force and create maximum employment. The leather, which is sourced from a local, family owned tannery is hand dyed and sundried before being cut by hand. The uppers are then hand embellished with tiny colourful beads using a technique that symbolises the traditions of the various local tribes. Different to any other, this painstaking method of sewing every fourth bead directly onto the leather can take one person up to half a day to embellish just two pairs of sandals.The uppers are then hand embellished with tiny colourful beads using a technique, which symbolises the traditions of the various local tribes.

Being attracted to a form, a style, be taken in an instinctive way from the simplicity that these are not necessarily synonymous with collective but one expression of its sensitivity.
Profile Design
I call myself Mina, because it means ’girl’, in Buenos Aires. And Buenos Aires is the hometown of my grandmother, who was a tango dancer and teacher: I look exactly like her, and she’s taught me nearly everything I know. I am Italian, but Argentina and tango were the first sounds of my life, and they have inspired the creation of my shoes collection. Shoes for feet whose steps are sensual and quick. Shoes for those who dance through life.
I have been travelling since I was a child, and I lived in Paris, Barcelona and London, but only in Italy I have found the right answers to the sounds I have in my heart and in my mind. It was my father’s father who taught me how to make shoes. He is a fine craftsman who knows the best leather and secrets to create the perfect shoes. His moves are unwavering, free from hesitations, and full of emotions, just like the moves of tango. I have married tango to this exquisite Italian tradition from Emilia, the precious art of shoe making.
This is my story, this is all I am, this my idea of shoes: it’s an emotion created from work and dreams. If you want a dream to live and flourish, you need to take care of it, in every single detail.
And my shoes are handmade dreams.

MOMA
Each MOMA product is produced in a real workshop where craftsmen, artists, workers and designers under the direction of Gigio and Daniele Gironacci exchange their experiences.
In 1992, Gigio and Daniele Gironacci decided that making shoes was not their only objective. Who are we? We are two craftsmen who set our hands to work and who believe that “well done” is not perfect. For us, a product is what we have in mind and what we can realize by experimenting with old and new technologies. In our workshop, everyone who is talented can contribute their ideas. Something influences our ideas and our products are actually always innovative. Where are we? We are located in the heart of the hilly countryside of the Marches. Is there anything better in this world than these hills? We decided to live here and to get our energy from this soil, this plain history and this rural spirit. We are inspired by the thought that everything we produce is the derivative of other goods that have existed already. Our processing is often inspired by the mildew on a grapevine, the moss on a tree bark, the rust … by all the things that have a clear beginning and a clear end. Each of our products tells a straight and simple story in which the experiences of the past live on.
What we do. We work. We learn the processing of the raw materials, the methods of processing and the techniques by watching the artists and farmers and give shape to a vision. What was our principle? Our principle: Midnight Over My Action. MOMA. We hurled ourselves into this adventure bearing these words in mind. There is a dividing line between tradition and new craftsmanship, just like the line that separates the old day from the new. Both comply with the same rules but are not equal. When we started the production of “the used and the dirty” we did not intend to start a trend. Our products were supposed to have a character that has lived a life, such as the wrinkles in the face of a person or the scars of an injury, which create each person’s individual history. How do we introduce ourselves? Just the way we are. What would we like to see happen with this website? We would be glad if it becomes a meeting place for ideas of any kind.

Cutting-edge design, arts and, in particular, miusic with all its icons: These are the left-motif for MonoWay, wich symbolises a privileged space to express oneself, where emotions are major elements when it comes to selection. In such a music-inspired context, rhytm is the thread par excellence. This is why what jazzman once called ’swing’ is now suc a crucial point: a rhythm flow in which the variety of color shades becomes as one; where from a single sound, many other unexpectedly originate differing one another just for their tone, as in a virtuous performance. They create the miracle of improvisation. Similary, each MonoWay collection is a composition in wich, starting from the basis intuiton of a product, thousands of possible version arise, as is natural evolution. The magic of colour meets the unique and autentich fabric of selected materials. Variation on a theme, one would say. Difference and repetition rhythm, colour nuances and materials’uniqueness.

MUNICH
MUNICH: shoemakers since 1939
Berneda, three generations dedicated to shoemaking. From sports shoes to the dream of high fashion.
It all started in 1939. It was just after the end of the Spanish Civil War when this small shoemaking firm started production in Sant Boi de Llobregat, part of the urban area of Barcelona city. The project started with all the illusion of a family totally committed to professional shoe manufacturing. The motivation and sacrifice of the grandfather Berneda, was quickly rewarded by his prompt arrival at the summit of the shoemaking industry.
After ten years of consolidation, the Berneda family decided to specialise in technical sporting shoes. The path which they had followed in this sector of the industry encouraged them to make a decision which definitively changed the direction of the business into unknown territory. It was in 1953 when the Berneda brothers launched themselves into the adventure of the athletics world and they did not delay long in reaching the summit and becoming pioneers in the production of sporting shoes and sneakers in Spain.
During 1964 another great change arrived. BERNEDA S. A., after considering various choice of name, decided in favour of MUNICH. In addition, it was in this moment in time that the “X” of MUNICH, the distinctive trademark of the range, began to appear stamped on each shoe.
In the ’80s, the boom in Spain for indoor football began, and the Spanish quickly became a reference at world level for this sport. The Berneda brothers saw their opportunity and did not let the chance of producing a special shoe for the sport escape them. Their GOAL model was their masterstroke and quickly became the leader in the market. As time passes, this model has become the star product of the MUNICH company.
At the start of year 2000, MUNICH makes another fundamental and strategic decision. It re-designs it’s GOAL range and transforms indoor football into streetwear. In this manner, MUNICH creates a solid base in the world of fashion.
After long months of research and much studying of technical sketches, MUNICH launches the GOAL range, which quickly becomes a trendsetter and arrives at all of the major international fashion outlets. Due to strong demand, it became necessary to create new designs and models in it’s streetwear collection. Each new model was inspired by its star products in the sporting range.
The ROC range, inspired in athletic and cross country shoes; the ACROPOL, which took as it’s inspiration the Taekwondo fighting shoes. In addition, many technical solutions were employed which improved comfort and durability.
These days, MUNICH offers a wide variety of models, ranging from shoes for adults and children, to fashion and lifestyle accessories. With more than 76 years of experience in the sector, the third Berneda generation works daily to expand the brand which, despite the commitment to it’s historic essentials, nurtures itself from the latest trends to ensure continued growth in its collections.

SALVI CONFORT
Salvi Calzados started in the world of footwear in 1993, although it already had previous experience manufacturing jute soles for espadrilles. Our main activity is the manufacturing and marketing of footwear with jute soles.
We develop our product entirely in Spain, with the guarantee and finish of artisanal footwear worked by expert hands.
Currently our collections are located in several countries.
From the moment of its creation, SALVI CALZADOS opted to offer a personalized service to our clients. An option that, although it has determined the company’s production process, has also reinforced its competitiveness against imports.
Jose Javier Salvador is at the head of the firm. He soon observed that the most important thing was to adapt to the demands of the specialized trade that demanded a shoe made practically to order. ’We offer a wide variety of items, which also incorporate many fantasy elements. The truth is that jute footwear has a great peculiarity, and this is that it makes it easy to make a multitude of variations on the sample book, such as incorporating wedges of 4, 5 cm, or make a model in 8 or 10 different canvases. It is precisely this possibility that allows us to satisfy demand. Hence we provide a personalized service.
’We have the capacity to make small batches against which Asian producers, prepared to make large productions, cannot compete.’
Salvi Calzados started in jute with the manufacture of the classic espadrille.
Over time, he began to develop some fantasy proposals that expanded the company’s commercial possibilities. ’As is traditional in the jute sector, manufacturing is done completely by hand. We use totally natural materials such as jute, cotton and leather. To create our collections we use fantasy fabrics and also nappa, with very varied finishes. Our main ’The goal is to create a comfortable shoe but without sacrificing design.’
There is no doubt that the brand has been able to create very attractive models, which have very reasonable prices and which have allowed it to gain the loyalty of a type of clientele made up mainly of middle-aged women who are looking for a shoe that is, above all, comfortable. We make very suggestive designs designed for a woman who can be well-groomed and sophisticated, and at the same time wear a practical and comfortable shoe that is very easy to combine.

SEBAGO
Westbrook, Maine (USA) 1964
Daniel J. Wellehan, owner of five shoe shops in the area, decided to open his own factory. He became partners with two local shoe manufacturers – William Beaudoin and Joseph Cordeau – and Sebago-Moc was born.
The name was inspired by nearby lake Sebago, that in the native Abenaki language means “long-shaped water basin”. Its first mocassin, the renowned “penny loafer”, was created in the same year, handsewn as by native tradition, still one of the brand’s best-sellers.
The first yachting shoes came out in 1948, but their patent was sold to Uniroyal. In 1950 Sebago-Moc’s turnover reached 1 million dollars and in 1952 daily production reached 2000 pairs of shoes: a new plant was built. In 1965 the company started selling in Europe thanks to a partnership with entrepreneur Francisco Gaudier. In 1963 it started to manufacture women’s shoes; in 1970 it launched the Docksides®design, another of the brand’s bestsellers. For the occasion the company name was simplified into Sebago®. In 1978, passionate sailor and CNN founder Ted Turner agrees in lending his own image to Docksides® products.
In 1981 the Campsides® outdoor line was launched. In 1984 Sebago® was the first American company to sponsor a boat in the O-Star Race. More important sponsorship deals in the world of sailing followed including the Celebrity Regatta, the Liberty Cup, the Americas Cup and the Young America team in the Louis Vuitton Cup 96/97.
The Drysides® line of water-proof shoes was launched in fall 1994. In the late 90s the company went through a time of crisis that peaked in 2003 when Sebago®was acquired by US company Wolverine World Wide, Inc.
July 31st 2017
The brand became part of the BasicNet Group’s portfolio. Currently Sebago®is distributed on 90 markets worldwide. All woman products by

SUPERGA
The Superga Story
Turin, 1911. The Walter Martiny Rubber Industry was born, which will be called “Superga” given the proximity of the factory to the famous Basilica.
Walter Martiny, the founder, discovered the existence of a new technology, invented by Charles Goodyear: the vulcanization of natural rubber. He was the first person to bring the invention in Italy.
In 1913, Superga® starts the production of fully waterproof rubber boots, which reduce the problem of diseases and infections typical of places like rice fields and marshlands.
In 1925, the Superga® 2750 was born. It all started thanks to Walter Martiny’s wife, an enthusiastic tennis player. At the time tennis was played with rope-soled shoes, offering excellent grip on clay courts but easily damaged. The Swiss engineer decided to produce a mould with a latex and sulphur
mix creating a new sole in vulcanized natural rubber, which was basically indestructible.
In 1962, the Italian graphic designer Albe Steiner created the new Superga® logo, characterized by a simple and clean design and still in use today.
In the 70s, Superga® firmly established itself in the world of sports with a dedicated range. All of the brand’s sports shoes featured the unmistakable “swallow tail” logo. Here were Superga® Sport, the shoes aimed at professional athletes from different sports, including tennis, which continued to feature in the brand’s history.
Many athletes wanted to wear Superga®, and not just them. In 2007, after three years as licensee of the brand, BasicNet acquires the Superga® brand and takes care of its repositioning on the market through high-impact advertising campaigns and collaborations with prestigious brands in the fashion world, among which those with Fendi and Swarovski stand out.
In the same year, South Africa becomes the brand’s first foreign licensee. During the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the reunification of Italy, Superga® was acknowledged as “one of the 50 objects that made Italy”, thus confirming its status as the “People’s shoes of Italy”.
For the last hundred years, being an icon for Superga® has been like a tennis match: the strokes of the beginnings resound in the volleys of the present. At each rebound, the past and the present mirror each other, in an endless fusion of heritage and avant-garde, sports and fashion.
Superga® is one of the most prestigious brands in the history of Italian footwear all over the world and is aimed at those who wear casual and contemporary shoes, but with a touch of true history and almost a hundred years of culture and tradition. The Superga® brand is currently distributed in over 55 countries around the world with a global network of mono-brand stores and multi-brand retailers.
Superga® is and always will be a classic because, since the beginnings, it has always kept its timeless appeal untouched, regardless how you wear it. All woman products by

WUSHU
The Wushu Ruyi story is tied to the story of two Italian brothers: Walter and Paolo Lorini.
Two renowned champions, martial arts masters who turned the queen of the Asian disciplines into their source of absolute dedication: Wushu.
It’s 1968: the Lorini brothers are very young and are enrolled by their father as members of one of the earliest martial arts gyms in Milan.
They start playing Karate and they become main protagonists of it very soon: Paolo racked up five wins in the Italian championship. Those victories were the prelude of a fundamental discovery: they took their next step on the path of a thousands-year old art that in Italy was still unknown.
It’s 1978: Walter and Paolo are the first Italians who migrate to Wushu and focus on the practice of this discipline.
They took part in the Italian National team from 1982 to 1987.
That year Walter wins the European Champion title in Barcelona, then he became the first Italian athlete awarded a gold metal of Taiji.
Walter is the first Italian Shaolin monk (32nd generation).
Meanwhile, in 1985 Walter and Paolo created the first shoes specific for this sport: that’s how the “Wushu” were born.
Authentic and unmistakable, only the “Wushu” sneakers are characterized by the RU YI: a very ancient Oriental symbol that is told by the historic knowledge to be the amulet belonging to the emperors of Qing dynasty (1644 – 1911), while the spiritual wisdom says it had a very rich meaning. The RU YI, actually, is the instrument used to fulfill the desires of the heart.

Every journey begins with a first step, and I took mine in February 2010 by taking over the shoe brand ’Le stelle calzature’.After the first collections in continuity with the elegant and feminine models of ’Le stelle’, customization began.
I wanted my line that expressed more than a shoe, that represented a journey of emotions to wear.
Starting in 2013, the change arrived that led me towards research into materials in order to guarantee maximum comfort on every occasion, to give women’s feet elegance and style without losing comfort and relaxation.
In 2016, 1725.a was born, my line for an active woman who does not want to give in to compromises, where research and style mix with emotions and feelings.
In 2018 I launched Estelle a collection of elegance with the comfort and research of 1725.a
Where materials are able to give emotions just by touch.
Where a shoe is the thought of an event, or a journey that begins by wearing it for the first time, smelling the real leather handcrafted in Italy.

Each Campomaggi bag tells a story.Accuracy, care, attention and dedication are fundamental ingredients when creating the first prototype of each new model: a very delicate phase, the first step in transforming an idea into something tangible.
INGREDIENTS
The human ingredient is undoubtedly the soul of the Campomaggi brand.
From the stitching to the finishing process, hands transfer on each bag the passion and emotions of those who touch, work and create them, leaving a sign and defining their history and final aspect.
Campomaggi bags are created through a very thorough process: each piece is dyed in barrels containing specially chosen vegetable dyes.
The vintage look of each bag is the result of the so-called ’piece-dying’ technique and of an extensive research, where nothing is left to chance. All woman products by

CATARINA MARTINS – HISTORY OF THE BRANDThe story of the brand goes back to 1993 with the foundation of the mother company, “Always Shoes” that Paulo Martins has opened in Portugal to give creative and production support to famous international fashion companies in the shoemaking business.
Ten years later Paulo Martins with a profound know-how and experience decides to create a handcrafted and creative brand as a result of the growing demand of a brand with a strong personality and its own identity. So on the 17th September 2003 was born the brand “Catarina Martins”: a name chosen because it belonged to well-known personalities throughout history, but above all, Catarina has a great personal significance because it is the same name Paulo Martins gave his daughter.
With a small team, young and dynamic, with a dedication and loyalty, and alongside the partners and representatives, who Paulo Martins likes to call “Friends”, the brand has grown with a surprising speed. The company that initially started with only two people today has turned into a group of 14 professionals with a turnover of 15 million euros.
The product “Catarina Martins” is distributed in the mid- high range of shops in France, Benelux, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Eastern Europe, Greece, Japan and Portugal. Nowadays its major market is Italy, where demand, quality and design are prevailing factors to stand out from other shoe brands.
The company is a regular participant at the main international fairs and venues, such as the GDS in Düsseldorf, the MICAM in Milan, the CPM in Moscow, the Première Classe in Paris or the PREMIUM in Berlin.
This collection that is made for a woman with a jovial spirit, dynamic, that appreciates quality, fashion and comfort is conceived with selected raw materials and handcrafted with utmost dedication and care. That is why every item is unique and bears the label “SHOES MADE IN REGION OF OPORTO (PORTUGAL)”. This is a tribute to the region and the people who produce these shoes.
Catarina Martins is above all a united team with an unusual collaborative spirit that personifies the brand’s philosophy/slogan “Life is too short to take a nap”.

BRAND HISTORYChie Mihara launched her shoe line in Elda, Spain, in January 2002 in order to offer women something different, footwear designed by woman for women, with a priority placed on design and comfort. ’we’re mothers, working women, active women!’ she said, ’and we should have shoes that match our needs. We want to look femenine, beautiful, attractive but without giving up comfort’. Drawing on vintage influences ranging from 1930s feminity to 1980s humor, she began taking details from the past and reworking them to reflect contemporary esthetics and modern fashion. Her distinctive footwear quickly gained a following devoted to Chie’s unique approach to comfort and style.

About UsEspadrilles or Espartena date back to a very distant past: some say they were already popular in the ancient Greece and Rome.
What we know for sure is where they were born: the Pyrenees, at the border of France and Spain.
There, more than 40 years ago, the Espadrilles adventure began.
Concept
Quintessentially, naturally original, Espadrilles are a wise mix of creativeness, design and eco-friendly values. Made using the traditionally spun yarn cotton stripes and sewn by hand onto the Cordura sole, today as in the past, Espadrilles are manufactured with a century-old technique, used to make even the most contemporary models. A timeless style icon, Espadrilles are strictly hand-made only, as the ideal marriage of the most traditional methods and the most innovative, sophisticated design.
The evergreen
Espadrilles now are iconic, legendary and timeless shoes. Worn by famous politicians such as Juan Domingo Peron or simply by european immigrants of South America, they have been the protagonists of dramatical historical changes. Now considered a cult object, their style is never out of date.
The original
Thanks to Ferrari & Zenobi, in the first half of the eighties, Espadrilles became a true icon, worn by the most important people in the world and reinterpreted by the most fashionable international designers. Today, Espadrilles is the one and only brand able to link its own image to such a timeless symbol of the european culture. All woman products by

A company at the forefrontBack in 1965, in Montegranaro, in the heart of Marche’s shoemaking district, the Fabi family founded a new business based on an ethic of fine artisan crafting. The skilled hands of the brothers Elisio and Enrico, along with their wives Gina and Vilia, shaped their first men’s shoes whose classical, elegant style and superior quality materials immediately became the hallmarks of the Fabi brand.
In a few short years, Fabi’s business took off. In 1972, not long after its founding, Fabi moved to a1200-sq. m. facility in Monte San Giusto, as it had already needed more room to fit its growing production.
A decisive factor of Fabi’s success has been its remarkable ability to reconcile tradition and innovation.
In the 1980s, on the solid foundations of its already well-established success, Fabi expanded its horizons to find emerging markets, inspired by its desire to set its sights ever higher.
The Fabi Donna collection was created in 1993 and 1994 with a style of sophisticated, metropolitan glamour. Fabi had thoroughly established its reputation as a dynamic brand. Now, for almost a half century, Fabi has been putting its name to high class footwear for men and women. It has become an ultra-modern business with the eventual involvement of the family’s youngest generation, which has infused Fabi with a new design spirit to complement its long-established crafting tradition.
Fabi has become a perfect beacon of Italian-made design as a distinctive business, a promoter of elegant style, an astute observer of trends, always anticipating new ways of life. It then employs its enormous skill, absolute precision and meticulous crafting to best express these new lifestyles.
Tradition and technology make a perfect union with quality. Three hundred forty-four employees, including master shoemakers and artisans, work closely with specialists in IT technology and state-of-the-art machinery. Their close collaboration produces innovative, quality products, with great care taken both in the details and in the choice of materials, always following the most stringent criteria.
Fabi’s current headquarters, in Monte San Giusto, opened in December 2004 and covers over 15,000 covered sq.m. It’s an attractive, dynamic modern work place, with ample space and lovely indoor green areas, making it a great place to work together! Every step of the process, from the idea to the design and from production to sales, takes place in house, which is what makes Fabi’s products unique and flawless. Ours are discerning customers, who are confident in their choices, well equipped to appreciate superior footwear and love the refined details Made in Italy… Made in Fabi! All woman products by

FLOGG FLIP FLOP + CLOG = FLOGG
The New California Dream
In the 1970s the womens liberation movement was born. The quest for equality in society made women also yearn for freedom of expression in their clothing. The Europeans influenced American fashion with sexualized glamour, style icons Jane Birkin, Bianca Jagger, Brigit Bardot & Farrah Fawcett made miniskirts and platforms popular silhouettes that keep re-appearing on today modern catwalks.
Now with FLOGG, disco dancing can be so much more fun as retro classic shapes are made more comfortable with the flip flop EVA component, facilitating womens agile an upwardly mobile status.
FLOGG is a revolutionary new category of footwear -inspired by the laid back California lifestyle and invented for all women who want to feel good and look fantastic without sacrificing design.
Carol de Leon, The Soul Behind The Brand
After years of designing for fashion and comfort brands alike, veteran shoe designer Carol de Leon took a moment to deeply think about what was truly needed in the market. Having the ability to design any imaginable shoe possible, her immediate need for a shoe that offered height with a cool comfort factor led to the invention of the latest shoe sensation, FLOGG. In flight, on a cocktail napkin, at the tail end of a research and design trip from Milan, she sketched what she imagined to be a hip shoe that she could dance in all night. With a chunky wood base construction, topped with a layer of EVA, the material your most comfortable flip flops are made of...and voila! A fantastic hybrid of two iconic types of footwear, a flip flop and a clog was born...FLOGG.
The first FLOGG collection has been developed with great secrecy. De Leon wanted to maintain the project under wraps because of its novelty and entrusted the endeavor only to shoe technicians with whom she had long lasting relationships. Most of the prototypes were kept out of factories and made by hand on the kitchen table. Meanwhile, a California dreaming lifestyle concept evolved around the casual chic designs and without doing any formal trade shows or presentations, the first collection was shown to top buyers by invitation only in October . With most budgets already spent for the Spring 2013 season, buyers scurried to find the dollars to add FLOGG to their selections because they immediately recognized that this new shoe line had great potential to be the next hot iconic brand likened to Uggs and Crocs. The first delivery of FLOGG will be this Spring in stores like Nordstrom, Belk, Shop Bop and many independents nationwide. International distributors are already lined up to view the new Fall 2013/14 line at the Micam shoe show in Milan this March.
The positive response from the retailers has been so incredible, De Leon is still in disbelief. ’ I honestly designed this for myself, and I had no idea that the positive response would be so widespread and well received. I’m extremely happy to be able to share this new shoe concept with all the women out there with the same need. I’m also extremely thrilled to be part of something exciting and new in the market. Many times in the design process you strive to create something so new and different, never been done before, it leaves you uncertain about the marketability and whether the new design would be sellable and relevant to the needs of the market. For years I have traveled the world on research and development trips, only to find that if I start from within, I can determine what is absolutely essential’.
The mother of invention is need so they say. FLOGG is the new hot item that satisfies your fashion whims at the same time that it addresses the most absolute need to feel confident, comfortable and carefree. Life is too short to look good and feel bad. Now vanity has never felt so good! All woman products by

The Flower MOUNTAIN brand is inspired by creative ideas, the cycles of nature according to the rhythms of the natural world.About Us

INSIDE AN IDEAThe Fabio Rusconi brand was created in 1998 on a return flight from Japan, a destination dear to the brand’s CEO.
Since the beginning, the creative direction has been built upon a prototype of minimal sophistication. The design is high but not elitist, superb but never snobbish, cosmopolitan but with its heels rooted in its hometown of Florence, Italy.
The most complex task is to adapt to the cultures and needs of all Fabio Rusconi customers around the world; to communicate the company’s philosophy, namely that the customer is and remains the center of the brand’s universe, which is made from leather but above all, emotion.
WHY RUSCONI
Twenty years have passed, and the results show that this choice has proven to be the right one, as long as no one lets their guard down, not even for a moment. Starting with Fabio himself.
Those who work at Fabio Rusconi have worn out their soles with travels, experiences and heightened attention to fashion trends and those who follow them.
Our shoes take us around the world, toward loved ones, toward a dream. Let’s choose them carefully. All woman products by

FRYE Benchcrafted since 1863On March 10th, 1863, John A. Frye opened the doors of a small shop on Elm Street in Marlboro, Massachusetts. The shoes he made werent icons of fashion or fanciful in style. They served a simple purpose: to ease the daily working lives of the hundreds of factory workers in that small New England town.
The individuals who wore the first Frye shoes were just like us: people who valiantly labored, honing skill and craft, supporting their families and community. When homesteading sparked adventurous New England families to head west in the mid and late 1800s, many of those pioneers wore Frye boots along the journey.
In time, John Fryes family would grow and, along with it, The Frye Company would expand. Each generation of Frye men dedicated themselves to the art and craft of shoemaking, creating new patterns, discovering new materials, and even inventing shoe-making machinery. Their fervor for the process of crafting footwear as durable as it is beautiful has been our companys benchmark, ever since. And this dedication has helped us craft footwear with a long and illustrious history.
Fryes Harness boot is rooted in this tradition and continues to draw inspiration from the American Cavalry. During a 1938 trip to Washington, D.C., John A. Fryes grandson and namesake met a U.S. Navy Admiral who noted his difficulty in finding the Wellington styles he liked so much. As a favor, John agreed to make him a pair. Frye continued to fill these requests for boots through World War II.
By mail order, the company supplied thousands of brave soldiers and pilots with Frye Wellingtons, known as Jet boots. Our boots traveled the world on the feet of American servicemen, from Normandy to Okinawa even General Patton wore a pair.
Today our classic Harness boot holds a treasured place in American culture, has been featured in international fashion spreads and enjoys strong sales all over the world. Our line still includes many styles based closely on their 1860 originals.
The CAMPUS boot featured a bulky toe and chunky heel that came to epitomize the attitude and styles of the 1960s and 1970s. The Smithsonian Institute, in its search for items to best represent America during the Sixties, chose a pair of CAMPUS boots that proudly remain on display today in our nations capital.
This is our history and our heritage, told in every stitch of every shoe weve made for nearly 150 years: across cultural shifts and changes in fashion, for generation upon generation. Now, Frye boots are accessorized and envied on city streets, worked and roughed up on country roads, and chosen above all others for their inimitable style and uncompromising quality.
And yet, despite our reach and success as a boot maker, our mission to make the best-looking, hardest-working, longest-lasting shoes and leather goods hasnt changed since our days on Elm Street.

laidback london is an ethical shoe label that was set up in 2002. The brand is about the product and the people that make it. We are committed to working out of Africa where we are making a positive social and economic impact on the local communities that we work with.Our signature sandal line is hand crafted using traditional techniques. Where possible, raw materials are sourced locally. The leathers come from a small tannery they are dyed by hand and then left out in the sun to dry naturally. The rubber outsoles are sourced from a local factory and these are prepared and cut by hand. The uppers are embellished with beads by hand every fifth bead is sewn directly onto the leather. On average, one person can embellish four pairs of uppers in one day. These labour intensive processes provide much needed jobs and give the sandals an authentic, handmade feel.
The line has been influenced by various African cultures, tribes and artisanal workmanship. Over the years we have been able to provide training, support as well as crucially, a constant flow of work that provides a sustainable income, which in turn has a significant impact on the local communities as well as on the next generation.
Every shoe has a story. Your story starts here.
STORY
Since 2002.
laidback london was born out of a desire to go back to basics. To make products the old fashioned way - by hand, using traditional techniques. To work with the imperfections to create naturally unique and individual products. Timeless pieces that are made to last, that wear better with age.
Walk, don’t run.
Having moved to London in 1997, the label’s founder wanted to bring back a part of the laid-back lifestyle he had experienced growing up on the coastal town of Mombasa to the big city. The first pair of laidback london sandals were sold from a market stall on Portobello Road in the summer of 2002.
Giving back. Making a difference.
We have established an infrastructure that creates jobs, provides sustainable incomes for the workers and preserves their skills and artistry. The work we do has a positive social and economic impact- empowering local communities, giving hope and providing opportunities through education for future generations.
Made by hand.
Keeping the processes hand made allows us to build the work force and create maximum employment. The leather, which is sourced from a local, family owned tannery is hand dyed and sundried before being cut by hand. The uppers are then hand embellished with tiny colourful beads using a technique that symbolises the traditions of the various local tribes. Different to any other, this painstaking method of sewing every fourth bead directly onto the leather can take one person up to half a day to embellish just two pairs of sandals.The uppers are then hand embellished with tiny colourful beads using a technique, which symbolises the traditions of the various local tribes.
The Originals.
Best know for what has now become the brands signature line, laidback london sandals have a truly authentic, handmade feel. All woman products by

Profile Design
I call myself Mina, because it means ’girl’, in Buenos Aires. And Buenos Aires is the hometown of my grandmother, who was a tango dancer and teacher: I look exactly like her, and she’s taught me nearly everything I know. I am Italian, but Argentina and tango were the first sounds of my life, and they have inspired the creation of my shoes collection. Shoes for feet whose steps are sensual and quick. Shoes for those who dance through life.
I have been travelling since I was a child, and I lived in Paris, Barcelona and London, but only in Italy I have found the right answers to the sounds I have in my heart and in my mind. It was my father’s father who taught me how to make shoes. He is a fine craftsman who knows the best leather and secrets to create the perfect shoes. His moves are unwavering, free from hesitations, and full of emotions, just like the moves of tango. I have married tango to this exquisite Italian tradition from Emilia, the precious art of shoe making.
This is my story, this is all I am, this my idea of shoes: it’s an emotion created from work and dreams. If you want a dream to live and flourish, you need to take care of it, in every single detail.
And my shoes are handmade dreams.

Each MOMA product is produced in a real workshop where craftsmen, artists, workers and designers under the direction of Gigio and Daniele Gironacci exchange their experiences.In 1992, Gigio and Daniele Gironacci decided that making shoes was not their only objective. Who are we? We are two craftsmen who set our hands to work and who believe that “well done” is not perfect. For us, a product is what we have in mind and what we can realize by experimenting with old and new technologies. In our workshop, everyone who is talented can contribute their ideas. Something influences our ideas and our products are actually always innovative. Where are we? We are located in the heart of the hilly countryside of the Marches. Is there anything better in this world than these hills? We decided to live here and to get our energy from this soil, this plain history and this rural spirit. We are inspired by the thought that everything we produce is the derivative of other goods that have existed already. Our processing is often inspired by the mildew on a grapevine, the moss on a tree bark, the rust … by all the things that have a clear beginning and a clear end. Each of our products tells a straight and simple story in which the experiences of the past live on.
What we do. We work. We learn the processing of the raw materials, the methods of processing and the techniques by watching the artists and farmers and give shape to a vision. What was our principle? Our principle: Midnight Over My Action. MOMA. We hurled ourselves into this adventure bearing these words in mind. There is a dividing line between tradition and new craftsmanship, just like the line that separates the old day from the new. Both comply with the same rules but are not equal. When we started the production of “the used and the dirty” we did not intend to start a trend. Our products were supposed to have a character that has lived a life, such as the wrinkles in the face of a person or the scars of an injury, which create each person’s individual history. How do we introduce ourselves? Just the way we are. What would we like to see happen with this website? We would be glad if it becomes a meeting place for ideas of any kind.

Cutting-edge design, arts and, in particular, miusic with all its icons: These are the left-motif for MonoWay, wich symbolises a privileged space to express oneself, where emotions are major elements when it comes to selection. In such a music-inspired context, rhytm is the thread par excellence. This is why what jazzman once called ’swing’ is now suc a crucial point: a rhythm flow in which the variety of color shades becomes as one; where from a single sound, many other unexpectedly originate differing one another just for their tone, as in a virtuous performance. They create the miracle of improvisation. Similary, each MonoWay collection is a composition in wich, starting from the basis intuiton of a product, thousands of possible version arise, as is natural evolution. The magic of colour meets the unique and autentich fabric of selected materials. Variation on a theme, one would say. Difference and repetition rhythm, colour nuances and materials’uniqueness.

MUNICH: shoemakers since 1939Berneda, three generations dedicated to shoemaking. From sports shoes to the dream of high fashion.
It all started in 1939. It was just after the end of the Spanish Civil War when this small shoemaking firm started production in Sant Boi de Llobregat, part of the urban area of Barcelona city. The project started with all the illusion of a family totally committed to professional shoe manufacturing. The motivation and sacrifice of the grandfather Berneda, was quickly rewarded by his prompt arrival at the summit of the shoemaking industry.
After ten years of consolidation, the Berneda family decided to specialise in technical sporting shoes. The path which they had followed in this sector of the industry encouraged them to make a decision which definitively changed the direction of the business into unknown territory. It was in 1953 when the Berneda brothers launched themselves into the adventure of the athletics world and they did not delay long in reaching the summit and becoming pioneers in the production of sporting shoes and sneakers in Spain.
During 1964 another great change arrived. BERNEDA S. A., after considering various choice of name, decided in favour of MUNICH. In addition, it was in this moment in time that the “X” of MUNICH, the distinctive trademark of the range, began to appear stamped on each shoe.
In the ’80s, the boom in Spain for indoor football began, and the Spanish quickly became a reference at world level for this sport. The Berneda brothers saw their opportunity and did not let the chance of producing a special shoe for the sport escape them. Their GOAL model was their masterstroke and quickly became the leader in the market. As time passes, this model has become the star product of the MUNICH company.
At the start of year 2000, MUNICH makes another fundamental and strategic decision. It re-designs it’s GOAL range and transforms indoor football into streetwear. In this manner, MUNICH creates a solid base in the world of fashion.
After long months of research and much studying of technical sketches, MUNICH launches the GOAL range, which quickly becomes a trendsetter and arrives at all of the major international fashion outlets. Due to strong demand, it became necessary to create new designs and models in it’s streetwear collection. Each new model was inspired by its star products in the sporting range.
The ROC range, inspired in athletic and cross country shoes; the ACROPOL, which took as it’s inspiration the Taekwondo fighting shoes. In addition, many technical solutions were employed which improved comfort and durability.
These days, MUNICH offers a wide variety of models, ranging from shoes for adults and children, to fashion and lifestyle accessories. With more than 76 years of experience in the sector, the third Berneda generation works daily to expand the brand which, despite the commitment to it’s historic essentials, nurtures itself from the latest trends to ensure continued growth in its collections.

Philippe ModelLabel and name of the milliner most loved by designers. Born in Sens, France in 1956. After graduating he learnt to make hats and leather accessories using scraps from his family’s tannery. He was later taught by Denise Frère, a pattern maker for Maison Riva Marchesi and he was apprenticed to the celebrated Madame Paulette. He launched his designer label in 1981 despite the declining trend for hats, and he found enthusiastic allies in designers like Gaultier, Mugler, Miyake, and Montana. At the same time he launched a range of gloves, bags, and shoes. He opened his own boutique in Paris in 1984.Every production stage is devolved upon a company located in Riviera del Brenta ( famous Italian area for the quality of shoes production) where the shoe arise from the lather cut, proceeding through the handmade assembly of the sole until the final upper polishing, made shoe by shoe. The aseptic industrial production system doesn’t contaminate our work philosophy, on the contrary, sometimes, it is characterized from slight differences between shoes, which cannot be considered a flaw, but a sign of an handmade work never like as itself.

Salvi Calzados started in the world of footwear in 1993, although it already had previous experience manufacturing jute soles for espadrilles. Our main activity is the manufacturing and marketing of footwear with jute soles.We develop our product entirely in Spain, with the guarantee and finish of artisanal footwear worked by expert hands.
Currently our collections are located in several countries.
From the moment of its creation, SALVI CALZADOS opted to offer a personalized service to our clients. An option that, although it has determined the company’s production process, has also reinforced its competitiveness against imports.
Jose Javier Salvador is at the head of the firm. He soon observed that the most important thing was to adapt to the demands of the specialized trade that demanded a shoe made practically to order. ’We offer a wide variety of items, which also incorporate many fantasy elements. The truth is that jute footwear has a great peculiarity, and this is that it makes it easy to make a multitude of variations on the sample book, such as incorporating wedges of 4, 5 cm, or make a model in 8 or 10 different canvases. It is precisely this possibility that allows us to satisfy demand. Hence we provide a personalized service.
’We have the capacity to make small batches against which Asian producers, prepared to make large productions, cannot compete.’
Salvi Calzados started in jute with the manufacture of the classic espadrille.
Over time, he began to develop some fantasy proposals that expanded the company’s commercial possibilities. ’As is traditional in the jute sector, manufacturing is done completely by hand. We use totally natural materials such as jute, cotton and leather. To create our collections we use fantasy fabrics and also nappa, with very varied finishes. Our main ’The goal is to create a comfortable shoe but without sacrificing design.’
There is no doubt that the brand has been able to create very attractive models, which have very reasonable prices and which have allowed it to gain the loyalty of a type of clientele made up mainly of middle-aged women who are looking for a shoe that is, above all, comfortable. We make very suggestive designs designed for a woman who can be well-groomed and sophisticated, and at the same time wear a practical and comfortable shoe that is very easy to combine.

Westbrook, Maine (USA) 1964Daniel J. Wellehan, owner of five shoe shops in the area, decided to open his own factory. He became partners with two local shoe manufacturers – William Beaudoin and Joseph Cordeau – and Sebago-Moc was born.
The name was inspired by nearby lake Sebago, that in the native Abenaki language means “long-shaped water basin”. Its first mocassin, the renowned “penny loafer”, was created in the same year, handsewn as by native tradition, still one of the brand’s best-sellers.
The first yachting shoes came out in 1948, but their patent was sold to Uniroyal. In 1950 Sebago-Moc’s turnover reached 1 million dollars and in 1952 daily production reached 2000 pairs of shoes: a new plant was built. In 1965 the company started selling in Europe thanks to a partnership with entrepreneur Francisco Gaudier. In 1963 it started to manufacture women’s shoes; in 1970 it launched the Docksides®design, another of the brand’s bestsellers. For the occasion the company name was simplified into Sebago®. In 1978, passionate sailor and CNN founder Ted Turner agrees in lending his own image to Docksides® products.
In 1981 the Campsides® outdoor line was launched. In 1984 Sebago® was the first American company to sponsor a boat in the O-Star Race. More important sponsorship deals in the world of sailing followed including the Celebrity Regatta, the Liberty Cup, the Americas Cup and the Young America team in the Louis Vuitton Cup 96/97.
The Drysides® line of water-proof shoes was launched in fall 1994. In the late 90s the company went through a time of crisis that peaked in 2003 when Sebago®was acquired by US company Wolverine World Wide, Inc.
July 31st 2017
The brand became part of the BasicNet Group’s portfolio. Currently Sebago®is distributed on 90 markets worldwide. All woman products by

The Superga StoryTurin, 1911. The Walter Martiny Rubber Industry was born, which will be called “Superga” given the proximity of the factory to the famous Basilica.
Walter Martiny, the founder, discovered the existence of a new technology, invented by Charles Goodyear: the vulcanization of natural rubber. He was the first person to bring the invention in Italy.
In 1913, Superga® starts the production of fully waterproof rubber boots, which reduce the problem of diseases and infections typical of places like rice fields and marshlands.
In 1925, the Superga® 2750 was born. It all started thanks to Walter Martiny’s wife, an enthusiastic tennis player. At the time tennis was played with rope-soled shoes, offering excellent grip on clay courts but easily damaged. The Swiss engineer decided to produce a mould with a latex and sulphur
mix creating a new sole in vulcanized natural rubber, which was basically indestructible.
In 1962, the Italian graphic designer Albe Steiner created the new Superga® logo, characterized by a simple and clean design and still in use today.
In the 70s, Superga® firmly established itself in the world of sports with a dedicated range. All of the brand’s sports shoes featured the unmistakable “swallow tail” logo. Here were Superga® Sport, the shoes aimed at professional athletes from different sports, including tennis, which continued to feature in the brand’s history.
Many athletes wanted to wear Superga®, and not just them. In 2007, after three years as licensee of the brand, BasicNet acquires the Superga® brand and takes care of its repositioning on the market through high-impact advertising campaigns and collaborations with prestigious brands in the fashion world, among which those with Fendi and Swarovski stand out.
In the same year, South Africa becomes the brand’s first foreign licensee. During the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the reunification of Italy, Superga® was acknowledged as “one of the 50 objects that made Italy”, thus confirming its status as the “People’s shoes of Italy”.
For the last hundred years, being an icon for Superga® has been like a tennis match: the strokes of the beginnings resound in the volleys of the present. At each rebound, the past and the present mirror each other, in an endless fusion of heritage and avant-garde, sports and fashion.
Superga® is one of the most prestigious brands in the history of Italian footwear all over the world and is aimed at those who wear casual and contemporary shoes, but with a touch of true history and almost a hundred years of culture and tradition. The Superga® brand is currently distributed in over 55 countries around the world with a global network of mono-brand stores and multi-brand retailers.
Superga® is and always will be a classic because, since the beginnings, it has always kept its timeless appeal untouched, regardless how you wear it. All woman products by

The Wushu Ruyi story is tied to the story of two Italian brothers: Walter and Paolo Lorini.Two renowned champions, martial arts masters who turned the queen of the Asian disciplines into their source of absolute dedication: Wushu.
It’s 1968: the Lorini brothers are very young and are enrolled by their father as members of one of the earliest martial arts gyms in Milan.
They start playing Karate and they become main protagonists of it very soon: Paolo racked up five wins in the Italian championship. Those victories were the prelude of a fundamental discovery: they took their next step on the path of a thousands-year old art that in Italy was still unknown.
It’s 1978: Walter and Paolo are the first Italians who migrate to Wushu and focus on the practice of this discipline.
They took part in the Italian National team from 1982 to 1987.
That year Walter wins the European Champion title in Barcelona, then he became the first Italian athlete awarded a gold metal of Taiji.
Walter is the first Italian Shaolin monk (32nd generation).
Meanwhile, in 1985 Walter and Paolo created the first shoes specific for this sport: that’s how the “Wushu” were born.
Authentic and unmistakable, only the “Wushu” sneakers are characterized by the RU YI: a very ancient Oriental symbol that is told by the historic knowledge to be the amulet belonging to the emperors of Qing dynasty (1644 – 1911), while the spiritual wisdom says it had a very rich meaning. The RU YI, actually, is the instrument used to fulfill the desires of the heart.
