Santoni’s success story begins in 1975 when Andrea and Rosa Santoni founded their shoe design studio, with the aim of creating top-quality luxury shoes combined with Italian craftsmanship. After 20 years of experience, Andrea Santoni thought it was time to start his own business with his wife. In doing so, he was inspired by Italy’s cultural heritage of craftsmanship and style.
Handmade in in-house design studios
To ensure that quality, Santoni felt that Santoni men’s shoes should only be made in their own studio. He even went so far as to check all shoes by him personally with a magnifying glass. For example, he had a perfect eye for the smallest details, such as the quality of the leather and stitching. Moreover, Andrea and Rosa were of the opinion that their shoes should only be made in their own workshop in order to always have the right quality checks.
