We honour the ancient history of the Friuli scarpet.
Made for centuries, if not for millennia, in different areas of Friuli, the "scarpet", the characteristic fabric shoes made by women for the whole family, tell a long history of culture and tradition and perfectly interpret the philosophy of recovery and reuse.
tradition
Furlane, the shoes of Venice. The traditional Furlane shoes were born in the 19th Century in Veneto, in Friuli. You may see them wearing by gondoliers passing through the Venetian canals and are deeply adored by the houses of Italy's nobility.
The techniques of production and the shape of the footwear have remained almost unchanged over the centuries. Gondos is proud to maintain our designs with the traditional appearance that distinguishes the classic Furlane shoes.
characteristics
The furlane shoes are presented as light shoes made of canvas, velvet or other fabrics available according to the season in which they are to be worn. They are all hand-sewn, beautiful made by Italian craftsmanship.
Every season is good to wear these shoes. They are designed to wear in different variations so as to keep the foot warm in winter, and preserve it from the hot summer temperatures.
They are elegant, comfortable and versatile.
style
Furlane shoes represent sophistication and comfort. They’re classic, versatile and can suit any style. You may wear them when having cocktails at home, scrolling around in the city pairing with jeans and linen shirt, or when enjoying your morning coffee in your dressing gown. They are also suitable for your black tie events, or dancing at wedding parties.
