Maison history: Created in 1975 by Andrea Santoni whose vision was to protect the cultural heritage of Italian craftsmanship, now the brand’s legacy has been handed to his son Giuseppe.

Shoe pledge: Respect shoe design traditions from the past, translate that craftsmanship into designs for the future, be aware of the environmental footprint, make awesome shoes.

We are so obsessed with the Buckram-inspired fabrics and amazing gold accents; it’s the sort of textiles and precious metals reserved for KINGS and QUEENS.
