Each shoe is born from an artisanal work

A job made of time, precision and attention to detail.

Our processing of handmade shoes begins with the selection of the best materials, guaranteeing quality and comfort. From design to final sewing, each stage of the process is characterized by attention to detail and passion for our craft. The result is a shoe that not only stands out for its design, but is also designed to last over time.

IN THE HEART OF ROME

About

a family tradition

For generations, the Arellano family has dedicated its life to the art of shoemaking.

What began as a family craft has become a journey built on passion, precision and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Our history is closely connected to the Vatican, where we have had the privilege of creating and caring for the shoes of Popes and members of the clergy, carrying forward a tradition founded on trust, discretion and craftsmanship.

the privilege of a special friendship

For decades, the Arellano family has shared a relationship of trust with the Vatican, built on discretion, dedication and authentic craftsmanship.

What began with our founder, Antonio Arellano, continued through the years with the privilege of serving several Pontiffs, caring for their footwear with the same attention reserved for every client who enters our atelier.

Today, that legacy continues, carrying forward a family tradition founded on excellence, humility and a passion for true Italian shoemaking.

100% MADE IN ITALY

Every day in our shops we make shoes of all kinds, suitable for every request and need of our loyal customers. Our key to success, to ensure that our footwear is differentiated, is the care we put into our work: quality of materials, coming exclusively from the best Italian tanneries, professionalism and attention to detail, to make a personal, unique shoe that represents the person who will wear it. 

"There are two things you can never get enough of, Good friends and good shoes"
