In 2025, shoes are making a bold statement. From sculptural designs to dazzling embellishments, this year’s trends focus on blending timeless craftsmanship with modern flair. Whether it’s architectural wedges, crystal-adorned sandals, reimagined Mary Janes, mesh details, or striking snake prints, each style offers a fresh take on sophistication and individuality.
Here’s a look at the standout trends shaping the year, brought to life through our collection of handcrafted Italian designs.
Architectural Wedges
Wedges in 2025 are all about bold, modern designs that double as wearable art. Sleek shapes and innovative materials give this classic style a fresh edge. Our Brigitte Wedge embodies this trend with its timeless silhouette and rich textural blend. Handmade in Italy, it features options like metallic tweed or a wrapped platform wedge patterned with shimmery gold detail. The triple-layered cushioned insole ensures all-day comfort, while its feminine design effortlessly complements a wedding gown or flowing midi dress.
Crown Jewels
Jewelry-inspired footwear is taking center stage in 2025, with embellished details adding bold sparkle to everyday and occasion styles alike. One standout trend is sandals with crystal accents, giving the illusion of an actual piece of jewelry, making them a striking way to elevate any outfit.
Our Fiorella Sandals capture this trend effortlessly. Handcrafted in Italy from metallic leather, they feature glistening crystal-encrusted straps and a wide front strap traced with even more crystals for added shine and a secure fit. Designed in a sophisticated champagne hue, they’re perfect for parties, and the cushioned insole ensures comfort from the first dance to the last.
Something About Mary Janes
The return of the refined, classic heel is one of 2025’s standout trends. Often referred to as a “lady heel,” this silhouette embraces timeless elegance while being reimagined with modern touches. High vamps, Mary Jane straps, and understated details give these styles their classic appeal, but contemporary updates—like bold colors, dual-tone designs, or unexpected finishes—make them fresh and relevant for today. Whether styled with wide-leg jeans or a sleek mini skirt, they’re the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern sophistication.
Our Frecia Pumps capture this trend beautifully. Handcrafted in our Florence atelier, these high-heeled Mary Janes feature a striking dual-tone design with black and blush curved straps, harmonizing with the soft lines of the extra-roomy almond toe. Finished with a gold buckle, they balance a classic feel with a contemporary edge. Perfect for pairing with tailored dresses or pencil skirts, these pumps are an instant classic, redefined for the modern wardrobe.
Year of the Snake
Move over leopard print—2025 is all about snake. With its dynamic texture and timeless appeal, snake skin is the ultimate statement for the year. Whether sleek, edgy, or boldly maximalist, this print brings a unique flair to shoes, bags, and beyond, making it the perfect pattern to embrace for day-to-night versatility.
Our Adriana Sandals are a standout in this trend. Crafted in textured python-print leather, these black sandals feature sculptural lines and smooth straps that curve elegantly around the ankle. Handmade in Italy, they sit atop a high heel with a memory-foam cushioned insole for all-day comfort. Whether styled with side-split dresses or ankle-length pants, the Adriana sandals are a bold yet refined choice that celebrates the versatility of snake skin.
