Studio Scarpe in Stile

Footwear development

About our studio

Scarpe in Stile was founded in 2005 by 2 friends who worked closely together for several top fashion brands. We are designers and stylists that lived and breathed the shoe industry for many years. To create your products, we are not afraid to get our hands dirty. We believe that beauty is one of the highest forms of communication, and that a taste for beautiful things must be cherished. We produce high end products that are the very best of "Made in Italy", and proudly work with Italian businesses and suppliers to support this unique craftsmanship. The ateliers and factories we work with are typically in Northern Italy, where the very high end of luxury footwear is created. We proudly worked for brands such as Manolo Blahnik, Bally, Oscar de la Renta, Marni and many more.

our Services


Development

We help develop your ideas, whether you have just a sketch or existing designs you want to modify. Every project is unique and we are able to assist in whichever stage you require.

Technical expertise

We can develop technical patterns for you and amend them whichever way you require. Working with CAD allows us to work fast & precise. We also work with very talented lastmakers, where the basis of a quality shoe lies.
