for some time now they have also been seen on the street, during the day, in the evening, with elegant and non-elegant clothes!

In any case they are BEAUTIFUL !! do you know how they were born ?!

HISTORY

The Friulian or Furlane, also called papusse in Venice, were the alternative to the home shoe:

they could therefore have been party or even ceremonial footwear in the rural areas of Friuli in the 1800s!

In fact, they are born from poor and waste materials called blecs: old bicycle tires were used for the soles,

jute sacks worn by the transport of seeds for stuffing, while the scraps of fabric were used for the uppers.

So it took a lot of manual skills to create these slippers,

and even today the real Friulian are made by hand!

Therefore, the uniqueness of these products, despite their poor origin, were the details:

decorations, seams, embroideries, shapes that could also differentiate those belonging to families or lineages!

From Friuli they then arrive in Venice, where they are loved and immediately used by gondoliers :)

In fact, the non-slip sole does not leave marks or streaks on the precious boats.

There was also a legend:

it was said that they were ideal for nobles because with these light and silent shoes they could go unnoticed

and join the secret lovers in their rooms.

Let's say that it is better that this remains only a legend! : D

For the spring / summer we offer the Friulian in the summer version, in cotton and fine fabrics,

very fresh and colorful, find the perfect pattern and color for your out fit .-)
