Love for equestrian inspired boots: the Bourron

Between equestrian inspired boots and Stivaleria Cavallin there is a never ending love story.

The Bourron collection is one of the finest ever. The classic themes of the equestrian boots are revisited and presented with flawless lines, erasing many stitch lines and therefore creating new challenges for our virtuoso craftsmen. The hardware is artfully design by our team and made by our neighbor and friend Mario Agnoletto, an artist in carving and engraving metal (grazie Mario!). 

In each Bourron style there is a delightful interplay between the stunning uninterrupted curves of the precious calf leather and the extensive refinement and complication of the details.

As we challenge ourselves to deliver always the best boots ever in their genre, here we have no doubt that the mission was brilliantly accomplished. 

I Killed My Husband... and Went Shopping

We broke the mold and created a stivaletto that has everything; Edgy lines, multiple precious skins, shiny colors, sexy shape. The exquisite interplay of five juxtaposed sections is a glamorous alter ego of our trademark Intero design. And we are more and more in love with it. Maybe a knee high boot should follow?

(The naming in the title happened when we were super excited with the first version: it was all in bronze calf+python+lizard, there is no photo here unfortunately because only two were made for clients in two opposite sides of the world.) 

Heels for Frieze

Art connoisseurs have landed and so have our heels!  

A new classic

As fashion looks back at the 80s, we browsed our archives (and the 70s, and the 60s) and found a mine of styles that we still love today. But of course they need to be totally reinvented, given the progress in design and technology in the meantime.

So we asked our team to develop a stivaletto that is sinuous and strong, veiling a rocker go-getter energy; the only inspiration was the photo you see. Using spazzolato calf leather, they created what looks immediately like a timeless piece; lots of personality created with a few sharp traits. As a friend said "this is what I need when I want to go out and kick a*** "!

...''Of Rare Craft'' : extraordinary people

Vittorino and Rino are the two precision cutters in the factory and the high priests of our guarded reserve of premium leather and skins. Their eyes and hands have selected and cut a few millions skins.

For Stivaleria Cavallin boots, they select the few very best skins from first grade leather supplied by premium italian tanneries,  and then cut only at the center of the skin. The resulting quality is unparalleled. 

Exotics

Exotic (adj.) - We often use premium skins of snakes, crocodiles, ostriches and lizards. As extraordinarily flexible, resistant and durable materials, they make for a timeless and functional elegance.

Block Heel "Mondrian": An Instant Success

This heel design was created to visually narrow the width of a chunky heel, to have it all: high and comfortable and slim. Thus the two dissecting lines that transform the perception of width and height. Each heel is carefully crafted out of four pieces of leather, to create a perceivable physical separations between the blocks.

In the "Mondrian" version, the colors of the blocks pay an obvious homage to the artist who elevated thick black lines to immortal art.  It featured in our first window display and became an instant favorite.
