Summer must have: the slippers for him and for her

As suggested by the most celebrated dandy, the silhouette is shaped from the bottom. And no model can give better personality to the look than the inimitable slipper that Santoni has carefully studied to create a original and iconic version of it. Two are the options, masculine and feminine, to meet the taste and the posture of every one. Made of soft cashmere suede, with hand painted piping in contrasting colours, this slipper is available in a wide range of colours, both in plain colour or airbrushed version.

Derby lacing - The game of masculine/feminine

A game of references is the basis of Santoni Derby styles. The series of striking heels, extremely glamorous, was inspired by the typical male fastening, element characteristic of the heritage of Santoni. A clin d'oeil that deliberately distorts its meaning, to reach a unexpected result, tribute to the unmistakable style of the maison. Lightweight and extremely feminine, these shoes embody the essence of the brand, within a conceptual operation starting from the tradition to experience new shapes and combinations, exquisitely feminine.

Shoes shown on the pictures are part of the Rose Collection, available online

 

Santoni - AW 2013-14 Woman Collection

Images of elaborate design, of bourgeois ambiences, self confident women and geometric inspirations. Sophisticated materials: leather, velvet, precious fabrics, crocodile. As well as the visionary of the sixties used as a magnifying glass working above the use of new shapes and the development of new lines.

Santoni - New Flagship Store Milan

An architect who translates a project into an expression of contemporary culture, Patricia Urquiola, and a brand that makes shoes of unique style, Santoni, have joint together to give life to a new creation of sales space in a project born from concepts of transparency and reflection where a product which is a symbol of Italian craftsmanship will be exhibited.

Santoni Blue

Santoni always plays the canons of masculine elegance associating them to blue in their maximum expression. Thanks to the artistic and exquisite handmade technique in which the brand stands out - patina - the coats of colour are applied the one after the other in order to obtain a nuanced tone, deep and vibrant. So the two iconic models par excellence, the double buckle made in Goodyear construction and the laced up with perforated toe and asymmetric eyelets, become one of a kind. A modern and stylish look, perfect to match with the must of the season such as the suits in light colour of colonial inspiration, or the safari jacket worn with a white shirt and linen pants.

Santoni | Rubelli capsule collection

Recently we were in Corridonia to visit the Santoni factory. During our tour, we saw something amazing. Santoni, leader maison in luxury footwear, meets Rubelli, the noble Venetian firm that represents a point of reference worldwide for high-end fabrics since 1858. A shoe that brings to amazing companies together and combines two amazing products.

Santoni Junior

The FW 2012-2013 Junior collection is rich in precious details with a refined design. The elegance of the workmanship of the high quality materials is meant to meet the most demanding parents without disappointing the childrens wishes.

Santoni Boots

Summer has come to an end so it is time to open your closet and put on those nice Santoni winter shoes.

Almost all over the world, winters can be pretty cold and our feet need greater protection. Traditionally, this is provided by boots, especially by boots which extend 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) above the ankle. Boots can cover just the foot but some styles even cover the lower parts of the leg. Santoni has even made a medium high boot with a built in sock.

For making boots, same materials and techniques are used as when making normal shoes, the biggest difference is the sole. Most boots are made with a rubber sole to prevent slipping in the snow or on a wet surface.

For the winter of 2012/2013, Santoni made some magnificent boots for Santoni Classic line, Santoni Club and also Santoni Shabby Chic. With these boots, Santoni shows us how to bring creativity, craftsmanship & high quality together in just 1 shoe.

The results are phenomenal: Boots with multiple colours and even up to 4 different types of leather which make a unique shoe design. Also boots with a sheepskin bootleg or fur lining. Santoni did everything to make the best wintershoes and keep your feet warm and dry.

If you are looking for some nice Santoni boots, you can find them in the Santoni online boutique

Santoni - The new logo

Very recently, something changed at Santoni. As some of you might have noticed at the Santoni website or the Online Boutique, the Santoni logo has a new look. After many years of good service, the old elegant and traditional logo can finally retire and the new logo enters in Santoni's corporate materials.

Of course the new logo is not completely different, it is just a revisiting of the old logo. With a design that is more contemporary, it is also more suitable for the women and junior collection. Two markets that are still growing each year.

Besides the new logo, Santoni also made some adjustments in de image of the advertisements. In the past, mostly it was all about the shoe. From now on, Santoni wants to show us a warmer image and more a (life)style instead of only the product.

This is all one of the steps that Santoni makes in the complete re-positioning of the brand. Very soon the Santoni Society logo will also get a make over. But untill then, please enjoy our classic logo.

Winter warm: Santoni Mountain Chic

This winter, Santoni makes sure that you will look stylish and your feet will be warm. With a collection of shoes that are all handcrafted and with names like Chamonix, Everest and St. Moritz, the name "Mountain Chic" really comes to mind.

Some models are inspired on old skiboots or mountain boots and with the anti-slip rubber soles and up to 600 stitches, the famous Santoni quality is recognizable immediately. The rubber sole not only gives you the grip that you need in the snow or on a hill, it also is a good isolation and gives you more warmth. The warmth is also created by the fur interior of some shoes. 

 Besides the "boots", also the classic shoes like the Oscar and George are fitted with a rubber sole with profile. A wonderful combination of a classic shoe with a sporty and casual look. If you want a really sporty shoe, than Santoni offers you the Santoni for AMG sneakers. This winter there even is a medium high sneaker with a fur interior and of course a rubber sole.

All shoes above are available in a variety of colors and materials. From brown to red and from calf to crocodile.


These shoes are available in the Santoni Online Boutique. For more information and pictures, please visit our facebook page or the Santoni website.
