Where history meets technology

1947. In the postwar period, a man and his challenge.

In 1947 Cesare Baroli started his challenge opening a small business based on cutting leather uppers in Gargallo, a village in the northern part of Italy which, at that time, counted a large number of master shoemakers. Over the years the experience in the art of making shoes increased and the business increased as well reaching the production of shoes which required the most credited techniques. The company boasts also the collaboration with famous Italian Fashion brands.

A company with a story and that believes in the future. Investing in technologies is a valid option also for a traditional family business which artisan manufacturing values would keep the main place.

The value behind a label.
