and the sister: The tartan dolphin tongue!
this is a friends' riunion between the amazing Gaetano ( the sandal artisan) and Pierino, one of my muse since I was a child, who makes handmade bags and leather animals like the dolphin on this shoe. By the way they have been friends since they were teenagers-- constantly arguing and hugging and reunited in this sandal :)

a better view on one of the new tartan sandals: The Tartan tongue..
Each pair is handmade in the one-man shop of a highly skilled local artisan
(Gaetano!) and maintains the same “imperfect” hand of original Caprese sandals, combined with bold leathers and design details.
Pre- order closes next Tuesday the 16th May. I can not produce many of them so be quick if you like it...❤️
Link in bio to see the two New pairs of sandals from the Amalfi dream. Our caprese sandals are a hybrid, sculptural reinterpretation of the traditional manufacturing method used by sandal makers in my hometown.. plus my love for tartan !
❤️
Pre order until next Tuesday in a very limited scale .
All the orders placed will be delivered by the 21st of June
PATATINA IS OUT NOW!💓🍧
Soon after moving to Genova this September I discovered Profumo, an very posh but discrete pasticceria hidden off the corner of one of the most famous streets of the city. The staff are studiously unfriendly unless you are seventh-generation genovese and your grandparents used to spend a lot of money there, the window displays are bravura displays of austere confidence BUT there is one candy they make that I love. That candy is called “Patatina” (in Italian: small potato, or also slang for pussy). This little pussy is pale pink on the outside (sugar and almond flour), and on the inside there is a juicy red candied cherry. Sublime. I had to make a shoe in honour of it. So meet little Mary Jane Patatina, built on our classic ultralight and comfy Italian-made EVA wedge sole (in Simona Vanth collections since 2019’s The Adolescent Dracula collection) coupled with a metallic pink leather upper, a cherry red patent leather bow, custom SV pendant attached to the buckle and, for detail obsessives, a Halley-Stevenson waxed cotton tartan insole.
Limited edition, produced in only 4 pieces.
