Three generations of Italian shoemaking tradition — lasted, welted and burnished by hand in the same workshop since 1952. A shoe, we believe, is not made. It is slowly grown.
No pair is rushed. Every upper rests on its last for fourteen days before the welt is sewn — the leather is allowed to remember its shape.
Lasted fourteen days, minimum.Full-grain calfskin, vegetable-tanned in Tuscany. Only the upper third of the hide is selected; the rest is returned to the tannery.
Tuscan tanneries, aged 30 days.Goodyear-welted soles can be replaced indefinitely. Every Fabiani pair is eligible for our repair programme — for as long as it is worn.
Resoled at the original atelier.Detail exists only where it serves structure. Every line on a Fabiani shoe — every stitch, every broguing perforation — has a reason.
