UPDATE: After 40 years of crafting leather, I am retiring –

Only 14 pairs left before they’re gone forever

My story

Age 12 – The First Spark

I was twelve years old the first time I stepped into my grandfather’s workshop. I didn’t know anything about shoes back then. But I liked the smell of the leather, the sound of tools, and how quiet he worked. I didn’t talk much — I just watched him. I felt calm there.

Age 24 – Learning the Craft

When I was twenty-four, I decided to become a shoemaker. I gave up other jobs and started learning full time. It wasn’t easy. My hands got sore, and I made a lot of mistakes. But I stuck with it. Every shoe taught me something new. Slowly, it began to feel right.

Age 38 – Finding My Style

In my late thirties, I started keeping notebooks with drawings and ideas. I wanted to make shoes that lasted — strong, simple, and made with care. Not fast fashion, not factory-made. Just honest shoes, for real people. That’s when it started to feel like my work.

Age 52 – The People Behind the Shoes

By the time I was fifty-two, I had regular customers. Some would bring old shoes to fix, others just stopped by to talk. I listened to their stories, and it made the work feel more real. I wasn’t just making shoes — I was part of someone’s life.

Age 64 – My Own Market Stall

At sixty-four, I finally made a sign: “Handmade Italian Leather Shoes.” I set up a stall in the village square. No fancy setup — just my boots, a small table, and me. People came. They tried the shoes, asked questions, smiled. And I felt proud of what I had built.

Age 70 – Still Going, Just Slower

Now I’m seventy. I still make shoes, just not as many. Some days I work. Some days I sit outside the shop and enjoy the sunshine. I have time now for my grandchildren, for walks, for quiet mornings. I still love this craft — but I also enjoy just being here.

Thank You for Visiting

These shoes carry a piece of my life.
Each pair has a bit of story in it.
Thanks for walking by — and maybe walking away with something made with heart.

Crafted with Meaning

Hi, I’m Matteo. For 39 years, I’ve been handcrafting leather shoes, pouring my time, care, and quiet joy into every pair. Each shoe begins at my bench—where I lean in, adjust, refine, and listen for the subtle give of the leather that tells me it’s just right.

Over nearly four decades, I’ve learned that true beauty springs from patience, purpose, and heart. These aren’t merely shoes; they’re a piece of my story, shaped one stitch at a time.

A Lifetime of Making, In Your Hands

I’m confident these final handcrafted shoes will carry you through countless moments.

But if they don’t feel right, just reach out—I'll make it right with a full refund, no questions asked.
