How Our Line Came to Be

The Maria Sole line originates from a family's love for their work and their passion for the 'handmade', entirely in Italy, specifically in Florence, where art and culture merge to create eternal beauty. Only those who have lived in a city like Florence can unconsciously absorb the 'requirements' of perfection, then transferring high quality and Italian style into their products.

Craftsmanship

With the fourth generation of women working in the company, Maria Sole was born—a line of colorful shoes produced with full respect for the current no waste philosophy, where everything can be recovered and given a new life. From the straw hat making by great-great-grandfather Tebaldo and the transformation of the business into a shoe factory by great-grandfather Ettore, continued with fierce determination by grandmother Maria Pia, Maria Sole revives the traditional processing of rope and natural yarns, dedicating them to the production of luxury espadrilles suitable for creating an Italian approach to natural products.

Quality

The high quality of the product, determined by a century of rope and straw processing in the family business located in the Florentine countryside, is now expressed through a new philosophy based on eco-sustainability and the conviction that what is beautiful never dies, but re-emerges with unchanging charm through the years and generations.
