Here’s an overview of your activity

Join me for an unique creative experience! Make your own Italian shoes with me!

I've been starting up the basis of a little authentic hand-made shose studio for the last year and I love every single moment of it. It's a creative way to give people beautiful things as souvenirs instead of the ugly souvenirs you can get at the main touristy attractions.

I'm a big fan of qualitative shoes and I love being part of the creative process when one decides what they want to create for themselves. I spent my afternoons in an artistic environment learning the art of creating hand-made, tailored Italian shoes.

Let me welcome you in my universe, you'll remember every single minute of this amazing process that is designing, creating and making your own sandals!

During the workshop you can choose your own fabric, pattern and color! Can't wait to meet you!

Very important: if you decide to do it with us, please send us your sizes when booking
