About

Velasca is an Italian footwear and clothing brand founded in Milan in 2013 by Enrico Casati and Jacopo Sebastio. The company began with a direct-to-customer model designed to make Italian craftsmanship easier to access. Its early footwear was developed with artisans in Montegranaro, a historic shoemaking district in the Le Marche region. The Velasca collection includes men’s and women’s shoes, loafers, moccasins, lace-ups, boots, sneakers, sandals, and casual footwear. The brand has also expanded into knitwear, jackets, trousers, shirts, and other wardrobe essentials. Its style combines familiar Italian silhouettes with practical colors and everyday versatility. Velasca works with specialist Italian makers and highlights the regional skills behind its products. Leather selection, traditional construction, and attention to finishing support footwear intended to remain useful beyond one season. The brand’s retail and online approach connects customers directly with its Made in Italy story. For shoppers seeking Italian handmade shoes at a more accessible luxury level, Velasca offers classic design, artisanal production, and modern convenience. Its leather loafers, dress shoes, boots, and sneakers suit work, travel, formal occasions, and relaxed daily wardrobes today.

Maison Toufet featured image

Maison Toufet

France · Est. 2015 · Mid-range

Marion Toufet founded Maison Toufet in Paris in 2015, building on a family background in shoemaking. The women’s footwear label designs in France and works with a workshop near Porto, Portugal, to make its shoes. Its collection includes loafers, ballet flats, sneakers, ankle boots and sandals, with individual styles named after women who inspire the founder. Maison Toufet focuses on wearable shapes and materials that can stand up to repeated use. The brand says it produces in small batches and sometimes uses preorders to align production with demand. It identifies Leather Working Group certified leather, some partially recycled soles and recycled or FSC-certified packaging among its choices. Its Portuguese workshop generates part of its electricity through solar panels. Many current product listings offer EU sizes 36–41, though availability and fit advice depend on the model. Maison Toufet sells directly through its online shop; its product descriptions identify the leather, construction and care requirements of individual shoes.

Pied de Biche

France · Est. 2015 · Mid-range

Friends Jérôme Maître and Matthieu Bourgeaux launched Pied de Biche in France in 2015. Its first product was a Chelsea boot funded through a crowdfunding campaign; the brand has since grown into a broad leather footwear range for women and men. Women’s styles include ankle boots, loafers, derbies, ballet flats, sandals and sneakers, while the men’s collection covers boots, dress shoes, boat shoes and sneakers. Pied de Biche develops its collections in La Rochelle and works with shoemaking workshops in Portugal’s Porto region. It says most of its leather comes from northern Italy. The designs revisit familiar shoes through colour, material and small changes in detail, keeping the original Chelsea boot central to the range. Customers can buy through the brand’s online shop and its French stores. The label opened its first Paris store in 2017 and subsequently expanded its retail presence. Its product pages provide the fit information for each model, which matters across a collection containing both structured leather boots and softer casual shoes.

No Skin featured image

No Skin

Australia · Est. 2020 · Mid-range

Nōskin is a Melbourne footwear and clothing label founded by Tony Corrales, Jai Long and Ash Pierce. Developed around vegan wardrobe staples, it pairs an interest in music and street style with familiar shoe shapes: Chelsea and combat boots, derbies, loafers and sneakers. Its clothing extends that approach into pieces intended to be worn together. Nōskin footwear is designed in Melbourne and handcrafted in Franca, Brazil, at an all-vegan factory. The brand says its shoes contain no animal-derived materials or glues. A Rose Loafer listing, for example, specifies a Spanish-milled microfiber polyurethane upper, rubber sole and microfiber lining, making clear what “vegan leather” means for that pair. Many of its boot and loafer designs use substantial lug soles. The brand sells online and has a studio store in Collingwood. It offers international shipping and a footwear repair service for customers in Australia, including resoling and cleaning. Sizes and fit differ by style; the Rose Loafer listing spans EU 37–47 and describes that model as true to size.
