« Each pair of shoes is a true work of art »

About

I have gained experience in the shoe industry which has given me an in-depth knowledge of materials, molding techniques and shoe construction. In London, I was able to perfect my training by acquiring traditional techniques. In 2017, I moved to Lugano and gave life to my dream by opening a boutique-laboratory where I made made-to-measure shoes and leather goods.

« I love working with leather and skin. They are incredibly ductile and versatile materials that age acquiring a patina that makes each crafted object truly unique. »

La Calzoleria is not just a simple shoe store, it is a place where craftsmanship and art come together harmoniously. Each model is designed with a refined aesthetic and careful attention to the smallest details. Shapes, colors and embellishments are all carefully chosen to create shoes that combine style and comfort. The smell of leather, the essence of the wood of the furniture and the colors of the leathers of different textures make this workshop unique. Since 2018, Calzoleria has been offering "goodyear" resoling, a unique feature in Ticino.
