About the materials
From the fabrics to the embroideries, from the soles to the decorations, everything is made scrupulously by hand, according to a knowledge that descends from centuries of completely Italian culture and craftsmanship. Cristina di Milano shares her passion about all of this. Above all, she’s happy to be able to share it and make it known to those who will appreciate it.
Sharing a moment
At some point, the Friulane shoes arrived in Venice. The first to wear these flat shoes were the gondoliers, who were careful not to damage the precious lacquer of their gondolas. After them, Venetian lords used to wear them daily. And how would you blame them? They are so comfy.
The artisan speaks up

“How nice it’d have been to wear versatile and eclectic shoes, to lead me walking at the park or to a romantic dinner date, just with a simple change of clothes? Starting from the Venetian tradition, I have made shoes to take women by hand during her daily moments.”
