About

Marsèll is an Italian designer footwear and accessories brand founded in 2001 near Venice by brothers Roberto Cima and Marco Cima. Based in the Riviera del Brenta, an area associated with luxury manufacturing, the company approaches shoes as functional objects and studies in shape, texture, proportion, and material. Marsèll creates footwear for men and women, including boots, ankle boots, Derby shoes, loafers, lace-ups, sandals, pumps, mules, and ballet flats. The collection also features leather bags and accessories. Its designs are known for minimal lines, bold volumes, raw edges, softened structures, and contrasts between matte and polished surfaces. Pieces are handmade in Veneto using traditional skills alongside independently developed techniques. Limited production, varied leather surfaces, and hand-finishing mean that small differences can become part of each product’s identity. The brand also maintains close links with art, photography, and contemporary design. For shoppers seeking luxury Italian designer shoes, Marsèll offers an experimental alternative to conventional formal footwear. Its artisanal leather shoes balance sculptural expression with wearability, appealing to customers who value understated design, premium materials, and distinctive pieces made in limited editions.

Souliers Martinez featured image

Souliers Martinez

France · Est. 2017 · Luxury

Julien Martinez launched Souliers Martinez in Paris in 2017, drawing heavily on his Spanish heritage. A visit to an Alicante workshop introduced him to hand-braided leather, which became a defining feature of the label. The shoes combine that visible craft with shaped heels, pointed or softly squared toes and colours that give classic silhouettes a distinctive finish. The women’s range includes woven sandals, pumps, flats and boots, alongside mesh, raffia and occasion styles. According to the brand’s history, its original leather designs were assembled and finished in Spain. Current material guides also identify production in Portugal and Italy for particular categories, so the manufacturing country is specific to the shoe rather than the label as a whole. Souliers Martinez sells through its own online shop and stockists. Its general European size chart covers EU 35–41. Fit advice varies by construction: some styles recommend sizing up between sizes, while others recommend sizing down.

Jacques Solovière Paris

France · Est. 2014 · Mid-range

Footwear designer Alexia Aubert founded Jacques Solovière Paris in 2014, naming the label after her grandfather. Before launching it, she worked with Christian Louboutin, Pierre Hardy and Oscar de la Renta. Her starting point is usually a classic men’s shoe, refined into a light, pared-back silhouette that can also be adapted for women. The collection centres on derbies, loafers and slippers, with boots, sneakers and mules adding other options. A single lace or pinched seam at the front gives some of its most recognisable designs their character. The brand says its current production takes place in Portugal using components sourced from Italy; it makes shoes in limited quantities. Jacques Solovière sells through its online shop, selected stockists and its Paris boutiques, including a location at 3 Rue Molière. Its loafers use Italian sizing that the brand describes as running large, a useful detail for anyone comparing them with other European shoes.

Caulaincourt featured image

Caulaincourt

France · Est. 2008 · Mid-range

Alexis Lafont launched Caulaincourt in Paris in 2008 with a small collection of men’s dress shoes. The house has expanded into loafers, boots, slippers and sneakers, but its best-known feature remains the hand-applied patina: customers can choose a nuanced colour finish rather than being limited to a standard shade. Caulaincourt also offers made-to-order variations for more extensive personalisation. The shoes are made through specialist workshops in several European countries, including France, Italy and Spain; the place of manufacture depends on the model. Caulaincourt uses different construction methods for different shoes, from refined dress styles to more robust boots. Its services include resoling and recolouring, and it offers resoling for its B.A.N.D.I.T sneakers. The brand sells online and through Paris boutiques, including its Rue de Courcelles location. Fit can change between Caulaincourt models, so the house provides a model-based size guide rather than treating one size as universal across its collection.
