How Italian shoes are made: An exclusive look inside Corsini shoes factory

Italian leather bags and accessories for Atellani are a long-term passion. Do you remember when we created AEQUA? Some time has passed since AEQUA’s Kickstarter campaign and Italian craftsmanship just became more fascinating than ever for us. In a world where everything is automated, handmade footwear is truly distinguished by the passion and knowledge that is put into making each pair.

We've travelled to the heart of Tuscany to pay a visit to this traditional and sartorial establishment in order to see some of their best artisans at work. Meet Corsini, premium Italian shoes with a twist. Corsini shoes combine traditional craftsmanship with the latest technology.
