Time to wear sandals and Summer shoes! I have selected three shoe brands that I love. Using finest materials and good production.

ATP ATELIER

A Scandi brand that uses Italian leather. I bought a pair of their flats a few years ago. Now They also have leather bags in their range. Love their flats sandals.

Un brand scandinavo che utilizza pelle e artigianalità italiana. Avevo comprato un paio di loro ballerine qualche anno fa. Ora fanno anche borse. Mi piacciono molto le loro ciabattine e i sandali piatti.

From their description: “We bring together genuine craftmanship with a Scandinavian sense of contemporary design and Parisian attitude. Coming back to the old craftmanship of Italy. Mastery that has been owned through decades. Our shoes are made in Italy by local craftsmen, who work under circumstances and wages that we can vouch for. It allows us to establish long-term relations to the people we work with, ensuring a sustainable business in the long run“.

You can buy them online and in Milan at Rinascente Duomo.

MIISTA

A Spanish brand that makes fun shoes and uses good materials. Just bought two pairs from a special sale they had in Milan last month. They are comfortable and well made.

From their description: “Miista unites the nostalgia of my rural Spanish heritage with a modernist female sentiment, translating cinematic, surreal, and retrospective inspirations into timeless styles rendered in Italian leathers and unexpected materials. It’s a pastiche of all those childhood memories of a beautiful farm on the Atlantic coast of Galicia, dropped like a stranger into a contemporary East London setting.  Although we have expanded a lot since 2010, growth has been organic and we’re still an independent company with a small, passionate team – but the core of our vision and success are our craftswo/men in Alicante, Spain; home to a highly skilled shoemaking community that has been upholding tradition since the 19th century.”

You can buy online and in other selected shops.

ST. AGNI

Just discovered this Australian brand with special attention to production and material source. Love their flats!

From their description: “We founded ST. AGNI from our home in the iconic coastal town of Byron Bay in 2014. Our vision was to create simple luxurious pieces that reflect the beauty and freedom of the Australian lifestyle, using quality leather and fabrics. Our philosophy is that less is more, and combined with the integrity and passion we bring to the design process, our minimalistic approach has created a range of versatile pieces that work with a structured wardrobe or everyday style. We take pride in our products and the relationships we have with the people and factories we choose to work with. We work with a small leather factory in Java that consists of approximately 50 staff members. It is only by working directly with the artisans that we can ensure the quality of our product. As a company we recognise our responsibility to minimise our impact on the environment. We constantly strive to reduce our waste and our carbon footprint. The cows used to produce our leather are sourced from a selection of local farms, raised purely for consumption and leather. The use of plastic is minimised in our packaging process and all of our products are shipped in re-usable dust bags. We source as many materials as possible from Indonesia and importantly we are careful to only produce to meet demand”.

You can but them online on net-a-porter.
