Italian menswear is the epitome of suits, as far as dress shoes are concerned, Kiton has its own factory, Cesare Attolini doesn’t sell shoes, Zegna and Ferragamo jointly built a shoe factory, Canali uses Campanile 1858 for private label, who made Cornelioni shoes is not clear, and neither is Pal Zileri.
Among them, the most interesting one is Brioni.
Because it used too many factories.
One of the most prominent is Silvano Lattanzi. Silvano Lattanzi dared to sell 7000 USD a pair in the United States, and Brioni suit may barely cost this price. Only Brioni shoes sold in the United States was produced by Silvano Lattanzi.
After a period of time, the cost may be too high, and Enzo Bonafe replaced Silvano Lattanzi. Judging from the price of the two brands, this cost reduction was significant. Enzo Bonafe made very good shoes, this is a good step.
So before Silvano Lattanzi, who was the maker for Brioni shoes sold in America? It’s Moreschi.
I think these shoes are quite in line with the taste of Italian luxury leather shoes of American tyrants.
The fluctuation of Italian brand products is simply as exciting as riding a roller coaster!
Outside the United States, there are even more different opinions, such as Sutor Mantellassi.
In the early years, there was Ramano Martegani. This company has gone bankrupt.
And in Italy, there is Artioli which made shoes for Brioni.
Then there was the radical design of Stefano Branchini.
If Brioni thinks it wants to express the show-off style, Stefano Branchini is really a good choice.
Summary
I have always said that I like to know such information. On the one hand, history is particularly interesting. On the other hand, I may be able to find treasures. However, the Brioni shoes on such a roller coaster must be exciting when they are scoured!
