In my mind, there may be thousands of Italian shoe factories or workshops, and it could be an illusion or exaggeration. But speaking about heritage, which one has the longest history, I am stucked, maybe Barrett established in 1917? Rivolta objects, with 1883.
It was a bespoke atelier in Milan.
To the 60s, Rivolta pushed out Made to Measure to approach more customers.
In its Ready To Wear, there are 1883 Heritage collection and Aria collection. The latter one is unlined.
Price is around 950 Euro.
Sole is very iconic and good looking.
Milanese style in the shoe world is not so common and easy to see, let us have a look.
Remark
Previously I don’t really know what Milanese shoe style looks like, now I know it is very conservative and English. I love it.
