About

Silvano Lattanzi is an Italian luxury shoe brand founded in 1971 by shoemaker Silvano Lattanzi. He established the company at age 21, turning his interest in leather, craftsmanship, and men’s elegance into a workshop dedicated to individual footwear. His early training included learning from shoemakers in London, Paris, and Milan. The Silvano Lattanzi collection includes men’s dress shoes, loafers, lace-ups, boots, sneakers, and custom footwear. Clients choosing the bespoke service can select leather, shape, color, and details, while the shoe is developed around their feet, body proportions, lifestyle, and comfort requirements. Production remains limited, with the brand stating that its workshop creates approximately 300 pairs each year. Shoes are made through hours of manual work, giving each pair its own finish and character. The company is known for experimental projects, including leather shoes aged underground to produce shades and textures. For customers seeking handcrafted Italian men’s shoes, Silvano Lattanzi offers rare production, personalization, and distinctive artistic finishing. Its footwear appeals to collectors and clients who value traditional skills, exclusive materials, and custom shoes created without the pace of industrial manufacturing.

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 featured image

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.
