We believe in intelligently designed, luxuriously handmade footwear. Our shoes/footwear stand out from the crowd as we pay homage to the authentic craft of shoemaking, passed down through generations of Italian artisans.
We believe all shoes/footwear have/has a basic function: to protect your feet, provide comfort and good posture, and be long-lasting/durable. A shoe is a unique object: it supports and thus impacts our entire body. Keeping us grounded and able to withstand the elements.
We believe that as citizens of the world, we have a duty to care for our fellow human beings. As such we choose to manufacture our product in Italy where craftsmen are fairly paid and protected. We also choose to provide clean water access to people in need. We embrace and support a cohesive world, where we are mindful of both our lives and the choices that impact the world in which we live.
This is what ITALEAU stands for.
ITALEAU= ITALY + EAU.
ITALY is where it all began, the birthplace of luxury shoemaking, and craftsmanship.
EAU means water in French. We believe life begins with water - as such all our shoes are water-friendly and with every purchase, ITALEAU provides clean water access to individuals in need all over the developing world.
ITALEAU aims to bring you true luxury: a beautiful, luxurious shoe that is fully functional and crafted consciously/consciously crafted.
